A further Jagdtiger model has been released in the Dragon Armor range. Again, it portrays a Henschel Production version, though this time with a different three-color camouflage scheme. It is uncertain what unit this vehicle belongs to even though there were only two schwere Panzerjager Abteilung Jagdtiger units ever formed. It is known that this tank destroyer saw combat in Austria in 1945. Only 77 of these behemoths were produced between July 1944 and March 1945, but fortunately this model is much more widely available!
The model wears a coating of zimmerit, which Dragon’s designers have ensured is replicated to scale. There is also a magnificently modeled crane installed on the roof, a device used to raise the roof plate to allow maintenance of the interior to take place. With its 12.8cm PaK44 L/55 gun, this was one formidable opponent on the battlefield. Dragon has also ensured it is one impressive model in 1/72 scale too!
The second version:

At 70 tons, Germany’s Jagdtiger was certainly no lightweight! In fact it was the heaviest armored vehicle to go into production in WWII. A design to mount a 12.8cm antitank gun on the Tiger II chassis was ordered as far back as early 1943, and by April 1944 the first prototype was ready. The first pair of vehicles was fitted with a Porsche-designed suspension system, a system that proved unsatisfactory. Production was delayed until Henschel redesigned the suspension with a torsion bar system.
Dragon Armor has launched a 1/72 scale model of this Henschel Production Jagdtiger. The fully built-up replica represents tank destroyer “X8” of sPzJgAbt 512 fighting in Germany in 1945. Of special note is the realistically textured coating of zimmerit on the hull and superstructure of this Jagdtiger. This collector’s item has been face-lifted and a brand new crane added to the roof. This type of crane was used to lift up the superstructure roof in order to gain access to the fighting compartment for maintenance. The crane is beautifully reproduced to scale, as is the vehicle itself resplendent in its late-war ambush camouflage scheme.
