The Hobby Boss 80135 German STURMPANZER IV Early Version Mid Production w/Interior is an extremely detailed plastic model kit representing one of the most characteristic German armored vehicles of World War II – the Sturmpanzer IV “Brummbär.” This vehicle was used by the German armed forces during the fierce battles of 1943–1945 on both the Eastern and Western Fronts.

The Sturmpanzer IV was designed as a heavy assault gun on a modified Panzer IV chassis. Its main purpose was to support infantry in urban combat, particularly during assaults – most famously during the battles of Stalingrad, and later in Normandy and the Warsaw Uprising. It was characterized by its massive, well-armored construction and armament with a 150 mm howitzer, ideal for destroying fortifications and enemy infantry.
