TAMIYA TAM32569 JAGDTIGER EARLY (1/48)
The Jagdtiger was the heaviest armored fighting vehicle to see service during World War II, designed as a tank destroyer based on the King Tiger chassis. Armed with the formidable 128mm Pak 44 gun, it was capable of destroying any Allied tank from extreme range. The early production version featured a Porsche-designed suspension system and thick frontal armor, making it one of the most intimidating vehicles of the late war.

About the Vehicle:
The Jagdtiger entered service in 1944, with only about 70 units built due to production difficulties and material shortages. Though nearly invulnerable from the front, its immense size and weight made it slow and mechanically unreliable. Despite these drawbacks, its firepower and armor made it one of the most feared German tank destroyers of the war. The early production models were fitted with Porsche suspension before being replaced by the more common Henschel system.
About the Model:
This kit is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Builders will need glue and paint to complete the model. Tamiya’s high-quality molding and engineering ensure ease of assembly and excellent realism, making it ideal for display or dioramas.
