The Aber 35A082 Side Skirts photo-etched brass set has been precisely designed for use with Jagdpanzer IV Ausf. L/48 and L/70(V) models in 1/35 scale. This product is aimed primarily at modelers who wish to accurately recreate the details of historic German tank destroyers from World War II.

Historical background

The Jagdpanzer IV was one of the most important German tank destroyers used between 1944 and 1945. It mainly served with Wehrmacht forces on the Eastern and Western Fronts, as well as during the defense of the Reich at the end of the war. The Jagdpanzer IV L/48 and its later variant L/70(V) were distinguished by their low silhouette, high firepower, and effective armor. The side armor skirts (Schürzen) provided additional protection against shaped-charge ammunition and light anti-tank weapons. Their presence can be recognized in numerous archival photographs, especially from battles in Normandy, on the Eastern Front, and in actions during the defense of Berlin.
