Tamiya 32569 - 1/48 German Jagdtiger Early Production Heavy Tank Destroyer Model Kit - Precision WW2 Scale Build  [32569]

Scale Presence of the Jagdtiger

The Jagdtiger represented an extreme in wartime armour and firepower. Introduced during 1943, it carried a massive 12.8 cm gun on a reinforced King Tiger chassis, with a fixed fighting compartment and front armour reaching 250 mm in thickness. Though produced in limited numbers, it saw action beginning with the Ardennes Offensive in late 1944 and remained in combat through early 1945.

What to Expect When Building

Tamiya's 1/48 Jagdtiger captures the vehicle's bulky silhouette and detailed running gear. The kit gives modellers an opportunity to assemble the detailed suspension pieces and individual track links that create a convincing drape when fitted, lending a natural look to the finished model.

Notable Kit Highlights

• Gun and mantlet finished to mimic a cast-metal surface on the 12.8 cm main armament.
• Accurate multi-part suspension that reflects the vehicle's mechanical complexity.
• Includes two painted or unpainted figures, a commander and a driver, to stage scenes.
• Three different marking options based on historical units for customisation.
