Trumpeter 02040 WWII German Ferdinand (1/35)

The Trumpeter 02040 WWII German Ferdinand plastic model kit in 1:35 scale is a faithful replica of the German tank destroyer Ferdinand, also known by its official name Panzerjäger Tiger (P), Sd.Kfz. 184. This model enjoys great popularity among military history enthusiasts of WWII due to its detailed reproduction of structural features and high-quality workmanship.

Historical background: Ferdinand tank destroyers were developed on the chassis of the Porsche Tiger heavy tank, which was not accepted for production. Only 90 units were manufactured, and they were first used in combat during the Battle of Kursk in the summer of 1943. They were famous for their exceptionally effective armament – the powerful 88 mm Pak 43/2 L/71 gun – but their shortcomings included poor protection against close-range attacks and no machine gun in the early version.

Historical period: World War II (mainly used in 1943–1944 by German forces on the Eastern Front).
