Panzer IV, by Donald Sommerville

From the rear side cover: The backbone of the Panzer divisions, the Panzer IV entered service at the start of the war; over 8,500 were built and variants covered in this book include the Wirbelwind (Whirlwind), a Flakpanzer with a Flakvierling in place of the turret of the gun turret, and the Jagdpanzer IV tank destroyer.

• Introduction (A Brief history of the Panzer IV)
• Modelling the Panzer IV (including painting and construction, superdetailing, weathering)
• Modelling Panzer IV variants
• Detailed walkround photographs
• Camouflage and markings
• References
