Historical Information

The German tank destroyers Ferdinand and Elefant were developed on the basis of the abandoned Tiger (P) tank chassis and entered service during World War II. Their most important feature was the powerful PaK 43/2 88 mm cannon, which proved to be one of the most effective anti-tank guns of its era. Ferdinands and Elefants were used by the German army mainly on the Eastern Front, including during the battles at the Kursk salient in 1943 and in later defensive engagements. Model kits of these vehicles are an essential part of any collection devoted to German armored technology from this period.
