Cobi SMALL ARMY Sd.Kfz.184 Panzerjager Tiger / 500 elements

The kit proposed by Cobi company includes a model of German tank destroyer consisting of 500 elements.

Sd.Kfz.184 Panzerjager auf Tiger H is a German tank destroyer from the Second World War. The genesis of this construction goes back to the competition for the construction of a new German heavy tank, which won the design of the VK.4501H produced by the Henschel company. On the chassis of the rejected project, VK.4501P, was equipped with a 88mm PaK.43/2 L/71 gun. It was named Ferdinand in honor of the German constructor Ferdinand Porsche. The performance of the new vehicle was not satisfactory (it was characterized by a maximum speed of only 20 km/h), but its armor was excellent (at the front of the vehicle, the armor plates had a thickness of up to 200mm). Those tank destroyers were used firstly during the Battle of Kursk. Many units were destroyed by enemy infantry or artillery fire. In addition, there were problems with the engine, suspension caused by the high weight of the vehicle.

In 1943, tank destroyers were modernized by adding anti-mine Zimmerit coat and placing a MG for protection against infantry. The new version of Ferdinand was named Elefant.
