Scale history: the Italeri 7012 1/72 Panzerjager Elefant for armour fans

The Italeri 7012 - 1/72 Panzerjager Elefant Model Kit offers a compact but faithful rendition of the Elefant, capturing the vehicle's heavy frontal armour and fixed gun mount. It is a practical choice for modellers wanting to add a period accurate tank hunter to their collection.

Context on the battlefield and design evolution

The Elefant served as a long-range anti-tank platform, built on modified Pz.Kpfw. IV components with a high-caliber casemate gun. Fielded changes and incremental armour improvements are part of its operational story, which the kit lets you study in miniature form.

Build notes for hobbyists
