Historical Facts – Jagdtiger

Jagdtiger (Sd. Kfz. 186) was the largest and heaviest tank destroyer used during World War II. Produced by Nazi Germany between 1944–1945, it took part mainly in actions on the Western Front and in the final phase of the war. The massive 12.8cm PaK44(80) L/55 cannon was mounted on the imposing chassis of the Tiger II tank, posing a threat to any Allied armored vehicle. Though built in small numbers, the Jagdtiger remained a synonym of power and engineering ambition of the World War II era.

Why Choose the RB Model Metal Barrel?

• Durability and strength – the metal barrel does not deform or crack and is resistant to damage during assembly and use of the model.
• Excellent upgrade – this part enhances the realism of dioramas and models displayed at contests and modeling exhibitions.
• Ideal choice – both for advanced collectors and intermediate modelers wishing to elevate the quality of their model.

Recommendation and Difficulty Level

Recommended for intermediate and advanced modelers (assembly difficulty level: 2/5). Swapping the plastic element for a metal one requires basic modeling knowledge, but the visual effect fully compensates for the time spent. The barrel perfectly fits most 1/72 scale plastic models available on the market.
