Tamiya 35087 1/35 Sturmgeschuetz IV - kit overview for modellers

The Sturmgeschuetz IV was built to give infantry formations close armored fire support. Designed in the late 1930s and fielded during World War II, it combined direct-fire capability with anti-tank performance. This Tamiya kit lets hobbyists assemble an accurate scale representation of that battlefield workhorse.

Origins and wartime role

Introduced to provide organic firepower to infantry units, the Sturmgeschuetz IV evolved from earlier chassis work and reflected changes in German armour design. Roughly 1,000 vehicles were produced and they saw heavy use on several fronts, notably against Soviet forces.

What the kit offers

The 1/35 kit captures key exterior details, including the prominent forward-mounted assault gun and realistic rubber track sections. Model builders will notice the replicated Zimmerit anti-magnetic coating and the moulded structural textures that add display realism.

The instructions are clear, but the kit has many small parts and fine detail. Beginners can build it, but expect to take your time and practice basic techniques like seam filling and careful painting.
Use camouflage tones common to late-war German vehicles and apply a thin wash to panel lines. A matt varnish over waterslide decals helps blend them into the surface.
Yes, the model accepts extra detail parts such as metal barrels, photo-etch sets, and etched grille covers. Plan modifications before you start so fitment stays clean.
