Cyber Hobby 1/35 Jagdpanzer IV L/70(A) + Volksgrenadiers Figure Set Overview
Germany based its Jagdpanzer IV tank destroyer on the chassis of the ubiquitous and reliable Panzer IV tank. The Sd.Kfz.162 mounted a lethal 75mm main gun in a fixed superstructure or casemate. The low-profile vehicle was actually designed as a replacement for the successful StuG.III, and it was built in three variants. Orange Box has released a set featuring one of these variants ? the Sd.Kfz.162/1 Jagdpanzer IV L/70(A). This vehicle featured the long-barreled PaK 42 L/70 gun, the same as that fitted on the formidable Panther tank.

The Orange Box set offers a remarkable 1/35 scale rendition of this Alkett Jagdpanzer IV. It is well engineered and carefully crafted to accurately recreate the original vehicle.

As with all Orange Box items, its value is unrivaled thanks to the addition of an identically scaled figure set. In this case it includes a set of four soldiers from a Volksgrenadier unit fighting in the Ardennes offensive. The sharply sculpted figures are wearing winter uniforms appropriate to the timeframe of this battle, though of course modelers can adaAvailable at Amazon Check Price Now!
