Dragon 6975 Pz.Kpfw.IV Ausf.F1(F) w/Schurzen, The Battle of Kursk 1943 1/35 is a unique plastic model kit that allows you to recreate one of the most important variants of the German medium tank from World War II during the legendary Battle of Kursk. The model represents the F1(F) version equipped with additional "Schurzen" side skirts, mounted to increase protection against anti-tank projectiles and shrapnel, which was a significant element of the development of German armored technology at the time.

The kit is produced in 1/35 scale, ensuring excellent detailing of the hull, turret, and the characteristic protective panels. This Dragon edition set includes intricately reproduced injection-molded parts made from high-quality plastic, precise photo-etched components, and plastic segmented tracks that can be assembled in a very realistic way. Many small details, such as handles, locks, periscopes, and simulated weld seams, enable an advanced display of the tank in a Kursk battle diorama setting.

The Dragon 6975 model depicts the German tank Pz.Kpfw.IV Ausf.F1(F), which was used by the Wehrmacht from 1941 to 1943. The F1 version appeared just before and at the beginning of operations on the Eastern Front. The additional "Schurzen" side armor skirts were introduced in 1943 mainly in response to the increasing effectiveness of Soviet anti-tank weaponry, particularly during the intense fighting at Kursk. There, the Pz.Kpfw.IV formed the backbone of German armored armament and fought both the Red Army and allied vehicles on other fronts.
