The Panzerkampfwagen IV has often been referred to as the 'workhorse' of the German Army in World War II, and was the only German tank to have been produced continuously throughout the entire war. This book examines the short-barrelled Panzer IV, built until February 1942, which saw service from the invasion of Poland, through the fall of Western Europe and the campaigns of North Africa to the steppes of the Soviet Union.Featuring helpful photography and instructive guidance, Tom Cockle takes you through a series of increasingly complex construction projects covering all the major Panzer IV types, including the rare multi-turreted Neubau-Panzerkampfwagen IV.

Following on from Modelling the Early Panzerkampfwagen IV, this book examines the later versions of the tank, from those that were initially equipped with the 7.5cm KwK 40 L/43 to those that were mounted with the L/48 gun.Step-by-step photographs show how to model this tank across various scales and at various skill levels, making this book ideal for both beginners as well as advanced modellers interested in minuscule detail, scratch built extras and rare tank markings.

Designed to appeal to all armour modellers from the beginner to the veteran, this book details all the steps involved in creating a realistic and attractive model armoured vehicle.Each chapter is illustrated with a range of models covering the whole spectrum of armour modelling, including World War II armour as well as more modern subjects. The authors also cover techniques and subject areas in which they individually excel, highlighting the different tools and approaches required for each individual discipline.Lavishly illustrated with over 250 images, this book contains all the detailed, step-by-step information you need to become an expert armour modeller.
