1/35 Pz.Kpfw. IV Ausf. D (3 in 1)
- NEW Superkit based on REAL measurements!

Another great Superkit from Dragon! This kit is based on careful and extensive measurements of an actual surviving Panzer IV D at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds.

"This will indisputably be the most accurate 1/35 scale Ausf. D model ever."

Utilizing advanced technology and with the frequent employment of slide molds, this is one super kit that is absolutely outstanding in terms of accuracy and in terms of technical detail.

Don't take our word for it . . . build it and you will see.
