The Third Battle of Kharkov, as historians refer to it, occurred in February-March
1943. A German counterattack succeeded in recapturing the city of Kharkov, and
also led to the destruction of around 50 Soviet divisions. Dragon Armor’s newest
item depicts an armored vehicle that fought in this campaign – a Pz.Kpfw.IV
Ausf.G. The G version of the famous Panzer IV featured upgraded armor on the
front and sides and it received a long-barreled 7.5cm KwK40 gun. This is a standout
model since it marks Dragon Armor’s first ever foray into Panzer IVs in 1/72
scale. As such it’s a brand new tooling and boasts the finest possible details
in this smaller scale. It capitalizes on prior research conducted for Dragon’s
1/35 scale Panzer IV F/G, widely regarded by many as being the best ever Panzer
IV kits.
The Dragon Armor item represents a tank of 3./Pz.Rgt Totenkopf of Pz.Gren.Div.
Totenkopf. Thus, it’s painted in a plain panzer gray color as commonly found
in this battle. Being Dragon Armor’s first 1/72 Panzer IV, it’s a novel and
welcome release, and it’s furnished with realistic-looking insignia and finished
with well-crafted weathering.
