Hobbyboss 1:35 JagdPanzer III/IV (Long E) Model Kit

The HobbyBoss 1:35 JagdPanzer III/IV (Long E) is a plastic scale model kit depicting a late–World War II German tank destroyer based on components from both the Panzer III and Panzer IV chassis families.

About the vehicle

The Jagdpanzer III/IV was a German tank destroyer concept developed in the final years of WWII, intended to combine a low-profile, well-armoured casemate superstructure with the more capable Panzer IV running gear while incorporating design elements from earlier Panzer III development work.

The “Long E” designation generally refers to a later or upgraded configuration, often featuring extended gun mounts or refined hull and superstructure details seen in late-war production concepts and field variations.

These vehicles were designed for ambush tactics, using concealment and the powerful long-barrel anti-tank gun to engage Allied armour at range.
