Italeri 15770 - 1/56 Sd. Kfz. 186 Jagdtiger  [IT-15770]

The powerful Sd.Kfz. 186 “Jagdtiger” ended up being built onto the elongated hull of this Tiger II heavy tank in the second phases of Second World War. Inside its mighty casemate ended up being the 128 mm PaK 44 cannon, armed with shells which could pierce the armour of opposing enemy tanks. This self-propelled ‘tank buster’ was implemented effectively and lethally against perhaps the of late introduced Soviet heavy tanks including the IS-2. The Jagdtiger had an enormous fat of nearly 76 tons. The large cannon and heavy armour whilst effective, cannot outweigh the indegent manoeuvrability and low rates of the automobile in battle. The significant fat impacted its dependability, and production volumes had been also restricted. But the Jagdtiger for the offensive capability alone, ranks due to the fact high point of German manufacturing of self-propelled tank destroyers during World War 2.
