Schürzen, or thin armor skirts mounted on the sides and turrets of German medium tanks, significantly increased their protection against shaped-charge ammunition and anti-tank projectiles. Panzer IV Ausf.H and Ausf.J, widely used on all World War II fronts—including during the fighting on the Eastern Front, in Normandy, and during the defense of Berlin—were equipped with these distinctive shields.

Voyager Model PEA165 is an excellent choice for modelers wishing to give their Tamiya model exceptional realism and historical accuracy. Metal schürzen look much more authentic than plastic parts—they are thinner, easier to shape, and allow for the depiction of damage or deformations reflecting real battlefield conditions.
