Panzer IV Ausf. J Medium Tank Plastic Model Diorama

The diorama depicts the German medium PzKpfw IV J tank, in the colors of these vehicles in Prussia at the end of World War II.

The model of the tank was built to a 1:35 scale from a Dragon kit. The plastic model was enhanced with photo-etched parts from Griffon Model. The side anti-tank screens, among others things, were made from these parts. The side anti-tank screens, in fact, were making of steel mesh.

The water was made of a special two-component resin for dioramas from AK-Interactive. The snow is also a special product for modelers, this time additionally combined with an acrylic primer for priming stretchers bought in an artist's shop.

Panzer IV tanks were produced from 1938 until the end of the World War II. About 9,000 copies of various versions were produced. The J version was produced from June 1944 for 9 months. Over 3,000 copies were produced. The armor-piercing screens, which are visible in the photos of the model, were just introduced in the J version.

The tank was equipped with a 296 hp (221 kW) V-type gasoline 12-cylinder engine.
