Historical Information and Application

In the late phase of World War II (1944-1945), the German army introduced improved smoke candle racks mounted on the turrets and hulls of Panzer tanks. This component enabled the rapid creation of a smoke screen in combat situations, allowing vehicles to conceal their movement from enemy observation and fire. This equipment appeared on versions of the Panzer IV, Panther, and Tiger tanks, most commonly during operations on both the Eastern and Western fronts in the final years of the war. The 1/35 scale is one of the most popular in military modeling, making it possible to accurately reproduce these technical details.
