HobbyBoss 1:35 - 5cm Pak (t) Sfl. auf Fgst. Pz. Kpfw. 35R 731 (f) - Plastic model kit #83808
The Renault R35 was a French light infantry tank produced from 1936 until 1940. The R35 became one of the most numerous French tanks captured by the Germans. Germany captured a total of 843 R35's, over a hundred of which were designated Panzerkampfwagen 35R 731 (f) and used by panzer units mainly for security duties or driver training. Most of the captured tanks were later converted into artillery tractors and ammunition carriers after the turret was removed.
Germans decided that R35's would be more useful on the battlefield if they were converted into self-propelled guns. Using the R35 chassis they built a 4.7 cm Pak(t) (Sfl) auf Fgst.Pz.Kpfw.35 R 731(f). This proved to be rather difficult because the chassis was even smaller than that of Panzer I Ausf.B, and the tank designed for two Frenchmen was now supposed to carry three German soldiers and a fairly large gun with ammunition. This new vehicle was not very successful in service especially in winter conditions, so a decision was made to improve it by changing the gun for a 5cm PaK 38. However this plan never came into action because of technical limitations, and the project was cancelled.

Academy 1:35 - Flakpanzer IV Wirbelwind (Replaces ACA01333) - Plastic Figure Model Kit #13236
The Flakpanzer IV "Wirbelwind" (Whirlwind in English) was a self-propelled anti-aircraft gun designed by the Germans on the basis of the Panzer IV tank. Its development was launched in 1944 when Nazi troops suffered great losses from Allied Air Forces.
The Flakpanzer IV featured an open-top turret fitted with four 2 cm Flak 38 anti-aircraft guns. It was nicknamed "Keksdose" ("Biscuit Tin") because of the turret shape which reminded of a nine-sided polygon.
On the battlefield 2 cm shells turned out insufficient against aircraft, however in general the gun performed well against infantry troops as well as trucks and armoured cars. Later the Flakpanzer IV was replaced with the Flakpanzer IV Ostwind (East Wind), a version more powerful against air targets.

Academy 1:35 - Sturmgeschütz IV assault tank (Replaces ACA13235) - Plastic Figure Model Kit #13235
The Sturmgeschütz IV, shortened to StuG IV or Sd.Kfz.167, was a German assault gun designed on the basis of the Panzer IV in the last years of the Second World War. The main role of the StuG IV on the battlefield was the same anti-tank role of its predecessor the StuG III. The use of StuG IV guns was a considerable support to the weakening German forces on both fronts.
The StuG IV was practically identical to its predecessor, however it was a bit lighter, which in view of the limited resources was a great advantage. In the period between December 1943 and May 1945 over a thousand of StuG IVs were built. The gun was proved effective against both Soviet and Allied tanks.
