Aber 48020 German medium tank Pz.Kpfw. IV Ausf. H, J early - vol. 4 - additional set – side skirts (1/48)

The specialist modeling set Aber 48020 German medium tank Pz.Kpfw. IV, Ausf. H, J early – vol. 4 – additional set – side skirts in 1:48 scale is dedicated to modelers seeking to faithfully recreate the characteristic side skirts of the famous German medium tank Panzerkampfwagen IV in the Ausf. H and early J variants. The product was created by the renowned company Aber—a leader in the model accessories market, known for its extraordinary precision and the quality of its products.

The offered supplementary set enables the creation of detailed side skirts (Schürzen), which in combat conditions protected Pz.Kpfw. IV tank crews—the most widely used German tank during World War II. The skirts protected against shaped-charge projectiles and low-powered anti-tank weapons. The early series Pz.Kpfw. IV Ausf. H and J were used by the armed forces of the German Third Reich on all fronts of the conflict—from the Eastern Front to Normandy—between 1943–1945.

The Aber 48020 set is made from high-quality photo-etched brass, ensuring excellent scale fidelity, detailing, and a realistic representation of the thin metal panels’ structure. The use of this technology allows for the effect of natural deformation and damage typical of combat vehicles, which significantly increases the realism of the finished model. The kit is intended as an additional photo-etched detail set for plastic models of the Pz.Kpfw. IV tank in 1:48 scale—designed both for stand-alone assembly and as a supplement to base kits from various manufacturers (e.g. Tamiya or Hobby Boss).
