In most respects, the Ausf.J was a retrograde from the previously produced Ausf.H, a necessity imposed on Germany to simplify production as the war progressed. The final production had two flame-suppressing mufflers installed on the rear. Another identifying feature was wire mesh being used for side skirts rather than steel plates, and there were three return rollers per side rather than the original four.
Along with the ultimate level of detail, a highlight of this kit is the stunning wire mesh side skirts made from photo-etched metal parts, with Dragon rising to the challenge of making the wire mesh to scale. In addition, there are numerous other completely new parts such as the lower hull, front glacis armor plate with handles and brand new fenders.
