Description

This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit.

The Ferdinand (Elefant) is a German heavy tank destroyer of World War II that demonstrated overwhelming power with its long-barreled 71-caliber 8.8cm gun and heavy armor with a thickness of up to 200mm. Developed by Dr. Porsche for the Tiger tank, the body was rejected in a prototype competition with Henschel, but a new fixed battle compartment was installed and a PaK43/2 71-caliber 8.8cm tank gun was installed. It also had a drive system with a unique mechanism called "engine power regeneration motor drive system." From March to May 1943, 90 of this vehicle were produced using the hull prepared at the time of the competition prototype. It was immediately used in the Battle at Kursk with the Soviet Union in July, and demonstrated its fighting ability. Although it suffered from obstacles due to its unique system and lack of mobility due to its weight, it continued to fight until the end of the war, being dispatched to the Italian front and the defense of Berlin.

This model kit from Dragon of the WWI German heavy tank destroyer Ferdinand has a large fixed battle compartment at the rear of the hull, and is equipped with a long-barreled 8.8cm gun. The gun barrel is aluminum. The lower part of the hull and the battle room are each made of one piece to reproduce their unique shape; the suspension unit also firmly expresses the unique form of the Porsche type. Magic Tracks are included for the crawler track for a realistic finish. Photo-etched parts are provided for the left and right fender parts to accurately express the tread pattern  on the surface. The commander's hatch and pistol port in the battle room can be assembled opened or closed. Decals by Cartograf are included for two versions: the 653rd Heavy Tank Destroyer Battalion and the 654th Heavy Tank Battalion in Kursk in 1943. Place your order today!
