Trumpeter 1:72 Jagdtiger (P) Precision Model

The Jagdtiger represents a heavy-hitting German tank destroyer from the WWII era. Developed from designs begun in early 1943, it was intended to defeat enemy armour at distance. The Porsche prototype incorporated an eight-wheel road system, while a Henschel alternative used nine road wheels. Delays in production occurred as priority was given to platforms like the Pz.Kpfw V Panther, but the Jagdtiger did reach operational use and remains significant in armoured history.

What the Kit Includes

Trumpeter's 1:72 Trumpeter 07273 Jagdtiger (P) kit contains 78 plastic components that detail the Porsche-style suspension and hull features. The build suits modellers with intermediate skills and rewards careful assembly and finishing. The completed model spans 145.6mm in length, making it a neat addition to any 1:72 armour collection.

Suitability for Display

Its small footprint and authentic silhouette make this Jagdtiger ideal for vignette dioramas or grouped displays. Collectors will value the model for both its visual impact and its role in educational collections.
