New Release: Airfix 1:35 Scale Stug. IV Kit
Recently, Airfix released an all new, 1:35 rendition of the Sd.Kfz. 167, also known as the Stug. IV. Airfix’s new model kit portrays the early production variant of the vehicle which comes with a roof mounted machine gun and a frame for add-on side armour.
Looking into some of the features of the kit, it can be seen that along with many other Airfix kits, the Stug. IV is constructed from durable and high quality plastics. All pieces are molded rather well and will allow for a very straightforward building process.
