Jagdpanzer IV L/70 Recommendations Please
Posted by ps1scw on Monday, October 22, 2007 11:04 AM

Hi team, can anyone recommed a good Jagdpanzer IV L/70 in 1/35.  I saw a review for an A-O Lehr vehicle by Dragon that I'm not too interested in, I would instead like a production vehicle.  Thanks

I have kit # DML9061 Jagdpanzer IV L/70 (V) Tank, Limited Ed. at home and it's very nice. It's the production vehicle and mix of old and new sprues but still quite nice... Also has I turned barrel if I remember right...

The old Tamiya kit still holds up--it can be had fairly cheaply, and if you get a kit of their Pz IV tools, can easily be built up quite nicely; comes with a nice figure too.

The Italeri one is also nothin' to sneeze at; I have one in my stash and it's a beautiful mold as well. A set of Eduard skirts if you need 'em is all you need to make it a killer kit.

Don't forget the DML "Zwischer-Losung" JgdPz IV Alkett version too. That's quite a striking model once built up; just get the Eduard skirts for it, as the kit way to make the Thoma shields with netting is a bit spooky...here's mine built up...

Doog, I'd love to get my hands on that version... Is it still available? or OOP? I had one years ago and I kick myself for getting rid of it...

 EDIT: I see it on GM... Good to know, thanks for the heads up...

Tamiya, DML, and Italeri all make acceptable versions of this panzerjaeger.

If I'm not mistaken Dragon/DML did 3 different versions of the Jagdpz. IV, L/48, L/70, L/70 Alkett.

I purchased all of them on Ebay. 

I have a command version and I'm sure the other two are in storage.

There were also Italerie and Tamiya kits, as previously stated. There was a Hobbymodellbau Schmidt vac form of the Alkett version.
