Product Description ■ Reproducing the fierce battle of Kursk in the completed model on 1/72.
[Actual car]
The Ferdinand is the German heavy driving tank in World War II that demonstrates overwhelming power with the power of the long barrel 71 8.8 cm gun and the heavy armor reaching up to 200 mm.
Dr. Porsche developed it for the Tiger Tank. It was equipped with the Pak P43 / 2 71 8.8 cm tank gun with a new fixed fighting chamber on the body which was not adopted in the competitive trial manufacture with Henschel Company.
Above all, it was characterized by the use of a drive system with a unique mechanism called the engine-generated motor drive system.
From March to May 1943, 90 cars were produced using the body prepared in the competitive trial manufacture. It was immediately put into the Battle of Kursk with the Soviet Union in July, and continued to fight until the end of the war.

It is a completed plastic model reproduced in 1/72 scale of the German heavy driving tank Ferdinand in World War II.
The model has a large fixed fighting chamber in the rear of the body and is equipped with the long barrel of 8.8 cm gun. It was reproduced in a total length of approximately 11 cm. The 8.8 cm barrel extending from the fighting chamber is full of presence even in 1/72 scale.
