The Eduard 36420 set is dedicated to the StuG IV plastic model from Academy in 1/35 scale.

Historical Background: The Sturmgeschütz IV (StuG IV) was a German tank destroyer used during World War II, introduced into the German Army in 1943. Its design was based on the Panzer IV chassis and developed in response to the growing need for increased firepower and infantry support. It featured a low silhouette that made detection and targeting on the battlefield significantly more difficult. Schürzen—side skirts—were developed as additional protection against anti-tank shells and infantry weapons, increasing the vehicle's survivability on both the Eastern and Western fronts.
