German Heavy Tank Destroyer from the late World War II era The Jagdtiger was developed based on a slightly modified chassis of the PzKpfw VI B Königstiger (Tiger II) heavy tank. It was the heaviest armored vehicle to see combat during the conflict and the last mass-produced German tank destroyer. Its impressive armament, combined with extremely thick armor, led to the Jagdtiger often being referred to as a "self-propelled bunker." Towards the end of the war, these vehicles were utilized—in among other roles—to cover the retreat of German units attempting to surrender to American forces while avoiding Soviet captivity. Despite its immense firepower and armored protection the Jagdtiger's design suffered from numerous flaws. In practice, many units were lost not as a result of direct combat, but due to technical malfunctions or attacks by Allied aircraft. Now you can recreate this history by building this unique set, illustrating a snapshot of the final weeks of Germany's defense leading up to the ultimate Allied victory in May, 1945. • 1,371 high-quality elements • Manufactured in the EU by a company with over 35 years of tradition • Meets safety standards for children's products • Fully compatible with other brands of construction blocks • Clear and intuitive instructions based on illustrations and step-by-step directions • Scale: 1:28 Model dimensions: 385mm x 140mm x 105mm
