The Jagdtiger is remembered as a heavy German tank destroyer from the latter stages of World War II. Initiated in early 1943, its role was long-range engagement of armoured targets. The Porsche prototype was equipped with eight road wheels compared with nine on the Henschel design. Production ran behind schedule as resources were diverted to vehicles like the Pz.Kpfw V Panther, but the Jagdtiger still entered service and is notable in armoured vehicle history.
The Trumpeter 1:72 Trumpeter 07273 Jagdtiger (P) kit comprises 78 parts that faithfully represent the Porsche suspension variant. The assembly is geared toward modellers with some experience, offering detailed parts and a satisfying construction process. The finished model measures 145.6mm long and suits display cases or battlefield dioramas at 1:72 scale.
This model's scale and accurate lines make it well suited for grouped collections or museum-style display. It provides a compact, informative example of late-war German engineering for enthusiasts and historians alike.
