Historical description of SD.KFZ.184 Elefant

The SD.KFZ.184 Panzerjäger Elefant was one of the most technologically advanced German tank destroyers used during World War II. This vehicle, equipped with a powerful 8.8 cm Pak 43/2 L/71 gun and armor up to 200 mm thick, was based on the chassis of the unsuccessful Porsche Tiger heavy tank series. Only 89 units were produced, which participated in battles on the Eastern Front—including the famous Battle of Kursk in 1943—and on the Italian and Western fronts. It was used until the end of the war, and while its design had numerous flaws (including a problematic transmission and the lack of a machine gun in early versions), it nevertheless inspired later armored vehicle designs.

Additional model features:

• Richly detailed chassis, tracks, and armor surfaces
• Precisely reproduced weaponry and period equipment elements
• Decals mimicking tactical markings from various divisions
• Clear instructions make assembly easier
