Germany 1945 w/Zimmerit
With a weight of 70 tons and a crew of six, the Jagdtiger was an imposing and

of a vehicle from sPzJgAbt 512, as it operated in Germany in 1945. Bearing the
vehicle number "X8", this famous vehicle also had a unique late war
camouflage scheme, perfectly reproduced in miniature on this model. It’s also
set apart by its coat of zimmerit, accurately applied in 1:72 scale.

More about the Jagdtiger:
The German Jagdtiger (SdKfz 186) "Hunting Tiger" was a tank destroyer
made on the slightly extended chassis of the Tiger II "King Tiger".
It featured very heavy armor and a powerful 128mm L/55 PaK44 gun capable of
defeating any tank fielded in WW2, even at long ranges. It had 250mm armor on
the front glacis, which made it practically invulnerable to any frontal fire.
However, the Jagdtiger had no turret, and the main gun had a limited traverse
of only 10 degrees, meaning the entire vehicle had to turn to aim at enemy tanks.
It suffered from the same maladies as the King Tiger: an underpowered engine,
frequent breakdowns, and poor maneuverability. These problems, along with the
lack of a turret, made it extremely vulnerable to infantry with anti-tank weapons.
Still, when properly supported, the Jagdtiger was an extremely formidable opponent.
