Jagdpanzer III/IV (Long E)

Hobby Boss 1:35

The Jagdpanzer IV, Sd.Kfz. 162, was a Germantank destroyer based on the Panzer IV chassis and built in three main variants. As one of the casemate-style turretless Jagdpanzer (tank destroyer, literally "hunting tank") designs, it was developed against the wishes of Heinz Guderian, the inspector general of the Panzertruppen, as a replacement for the Sturmgeschütz III (StuG
III). Guderian objected against the needless, in his eyes, diversion of
resources from Panzer IV tank production, as the StuG III was still
more than adequate for its role.
