Dragon Jagdtiger (Porsche Version) Sd.Kfz.186 Alsace 1945

REF:60111 Scale 1.72 Length 96mm

Dragon Armor’s 1:72 scale Sd.Kfz.186 Jagdtiger (Porsche Version) model is depicted in the authentic markings of schwere Panzer Jaeger Abteilung 314 as used in Germany in 1945. Dragon Armor carefully researches models to ensure that every detail is historically accurate – from the tooling to the realistic weathered camouflage scheme to the markings.

Dragon Armor’s pre-assembled die-cast model has Dragon’s Zimmerit paste applied to the lower hull and superstructure enabling a far greater level of detailing to be achieved. The Jagdtiger was the heaviest armoured fighting vehicle to reach production in World War II. Designed as a tank buster, the Sd.Kfz.186 Jagdtiger (German for ‘Hunting Tiger’) was based on the chassis of the Tiger II (King Tiger) tank and suffered from the same problems - an underpowered engine, frequent breakdowns and poor manoeuvrability – further exacerbated as the Jagdtiger was 3 tons heaver.

The Jagdtiger had a very narrow field of fire as the main gun had a traverse of only 10 degrees so the entire vehicle had to turn to aim anywhere else. 150 Jagdtigers were ordered, with prototypes produced by Porsche and Henschel, but only 88 vehicles were ever produced and of these, only eleven were produced with Porsche suspension (8 road wheels). The Dragon Armor 1:72 scale series is a great scale to collect, the attention to detail is superb offering exceptional quality at a great price. Models are packaged in an acrylic display case. Length is measured for the body only and excludes the gun barrel.
