The “Schürzen” type side armor played a crucial protective role, shielding the sides of the vehicle against shaped charge projectiles, anti-tank grenades, and small-caliber fire. Originally used on all fronts of the European theater during World War II, in both eastern and western campaigns, they became an iconic feature of late-war German armored vehicles.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSet contents and advantages:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe set contains precisely photo-etched parts—a full set of hinges, mounts, and side armor plates, which can be installed in open or closed positions, according to their actual use on the original vehicle. The high quality of the components allows for much more accurate detailing than the basic plastic parts. The photo-etched sheets are thin, easy to work with and paint.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eRecommendation:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Voyager Model PEA321 set is recommended for intermediate and advanced modelers who want to enhance the realism and detail of their DRAGON StuG.IV model.
