DRAGON 1/35 WW.II German Army Panzer IV Ausf.E Submarine Tank Style Deluxe Edition Plastic Model

About the Actual Vehicle:

Among the German tanks of World War II, the IV series tanks were one of the main tanks that made a significant impact throughout the war. Designed as support tanks, their relatively roomy chassis design allowed for various upgrades, leading to the creation of multiple types that fought valiantly till the end of the war. The first mass-produced variant of the IV series was the Type D, followed by the improved Type E, which was introduced in 1940. A variety of modifications were also made to the IV series, including a unique submersible tank variant with waterproofing and a snorkel system, designed for the planned invasion of England. Although the invasion never happened, these submersible tanks were produced, with about 40 units built from 1940. They showcased their capabilities in river crossing operations during the invasion of Russia.
