Historical Description and Application

The Jagdtiger was the heaviest serially produced tank destroyer of World War II. Used by the Wehrmacht between 1944–1945, it served mainly on the Western Front during the last offensives (including the Battle of the Bulge). One of the most characteristic features of the vehicle was the Zimmerit layer—a special anti-magnetic coating designed to prevent magnetic mines from sticking. Details such as realistically reproduced fenders and Zimmerit texture give the model a unique, realistic appearance, capturing the characteristic traits of the authentic Jagdtiger.
