Historical Background
The German Panzerkampfwagen IV, commonly known as the T-IV, was one of the most widely used tanks of World War II. The addition of side screens (Schürzen) in 1943 was a direct response to the increasing use of anti-tank weapons, particularly shaped charges. These side screens provided an extra layer of defense to the tank's vulnerable sides and tracks, greatly improving its battlefield survivability. This detailing kit allows modelers to accurately replicate this important feature, bringing history to life with unparalleled realism and precision.
