Expected release date in September - Das Werk's new tiny terror of the Battle of Berlin looks pretty sweet to us - IT is a tiny tracked tank that actually DID see action in the last days of WWII so this ain't "What-if" - more like "what the hell?" for enemies that opposed them in 1945.

Hang on - never seen this tank before?

The Borgward IV, officially designated Schwerer Ladungsträger Borgward B IV (heavy explosive carrier Borgward B IV), was a German remote-controlled demolition vehicle used in World War II. Near the end of World War II, approximately 56 Ausf. Bs and Cs were converted to the Panzerjäger Wanze, armed with six RPzB 54/1 anti-tank rockets. In the last days of the war, these vehicles fought some minor skirmishes against Soviet armour and saw some action at the Battle of Berlin

The result were tank destroyers with the name Wanze. The Wanze was equipped with six RPzB 54/1 anti-tank rockets. These rockets were also known as the Panzerschreck or in English "tank fright" or "tank's bane".

Destroyed and abandoned, hiding in ambush - there are no limits to your choice of diorama to suit this kit. The model is certainly also great for a What if? -1946 surroundings

A weapon of the Endkampf, especially The Battle for Berlin in 1945.
