Voyager Model PEA477 WWII German Panzer IV OVM Holders Early Version 1/35

Voyager Model PEA477 is an advanced photo-etched detail set designed to enhance plastic models of the German Panzer IV tank in early versions (Ausf. A to early Ausf. G) in 1/35 scale. The product has been created to accurately replicate holders and straps for external equipment (OVM – On-Vehicle Equipment) typical for vehicles used by the German Army (Wehrmacht) during World War II, between 1939–1943.

Historical Background

The Panzer IV tank was one of the cornerstones of the German armored forces, extensively used on all fronts of World War II—starting from the invasion of Poland, through France and the Balkans, to North Africa and the Eastern Front. Early production runs of these tanks were equipped as standard with extensive sets of tools mounted externally, allowing rapid access during unexpected field repairs. The holders and clamps used at the time were entirely made of metal and lacked the signature closures found on later models.
