This
Dragon 1/72 German Sd.Kfz.186 Jagdtiger Henschel Version with Crane Germany 1945 is a
diecast assembled model in the
Dragon Assembled Military Models range. A new Jagdtiger model has been announced in the Dragon Armor range, it portrays a Henschel Production version, though this time with a different three-colour camouflage scheme.
This version has the anti-mine coating Zimmerit applied and has a crane installed on the roof, a device used to raise the roof plate to allow maintenance of the interior. With it's 12.8cm PAK44 L/55 gun, it was a formidable opponent on the battlefield. 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!
