Dragon Armor 1/72 German Jagdpanzer IV L/70 Tank Hunter with Schurzen (60262)
he Jagdpanzer IV L/70 was a modified version of the original tank hunter, being based on
the Pz.Kpfw. IV Ausf. H or J tank chassis. It was fitted with a 75mm PaK 42 L/70 gun
without a muzzle brake and a solitary MG42. The main gun could traverse 12 to the left and
right and it had an elevation of -7 to +15 . Dragon Armor has released this next Jagdpanzer
IV L/70 Late Production version, representing a vehicle from an unidentified unit. It is
adorned in a three-tone camouflage scheme consisting of bold stripes and is tastefully
weathered, as demonstrated by the lifelike look of the tracks. The 1/72 scale model is
fitted with a full set of side skirts and has the late style of exhaust muffler. Collectors
will want to be cognizant of the fact that, like the previous model, this is a strictly
limited edition. This model vehicle is set to again be a popular item, so collectors will
need to be quick to ensure they get their hands on one. This Guderian s Duck (as it was
nicknamed) will not be a sitting duck !
Weighing 25.8 tons, the Late Version of Germany s Jagdpanzer packed a lethal punch with its 7.5cm PaK42 L/70 gun. It was designed exclusively as a tank hunter, its low profile and powerful armament ensured it was successful in this role. The Late model had two steel-rimmed wheels at the first two wheel stations, because of the failure of earlier rubber-tired wheels due to the increased weight of extra armor. All these details, along with the three (instead of four) return rollers are present on Dragon Armor s latest model of the Jagdpanzer IV. The model is made even more unique with its special winter camouflage scheme of overall white with yellow splotches . This tank-hunter was rushed into combat to try and stem the tide of Red Army tanks closing in on Hungary in 1945. Ultimately, that desperate defense failed - but this Dragon collector s model is a complete success, thanks to its attention to detail, plus its superb painted and weathered finish!
