AK Interactive AK35504-A PZ.KPFW.IV AUSF.D AFRIKA KORPS + DAK PANZERFAHRER 1/35 is a unique proposition for modeling enthusiasts, combining the highest level of detail with collector's value. This plastic model kit in 1/35 scale depicts the German medium tank Panzerkampfwagen IV Ausf.D in its tropical version, used by the Deutsches Afrika Korps in 1941 during World War II on the North African front.

Historical Overview

The Panzer IV Ausf.D was the fourth production version of the well-known tank, with manufacturing starting in October 1939. This version was specifically adapted for the harsh conditions of the North African desert—vehicles in this series were equipped with more efficient ventilation and sand filters, and often had additional armor installed. This model played an important role during the African campaign, serving for example in the 4th and 8th companies of the 5th DAK tank regiment, before being replaced on the battlefield by more modern variants. One of these tanks was even captured by the Allies and put into their service, a scenario that can be recreated thanks to the included decals.
