Jagdtiger – A Brief History of the Original

The German Jagdtiger (Sd.Kfz. 186) was one of the most powerful tank destroyers of World War II. It was based on the chassis of the Tiger II heavy tank and armed with a 128 mm PaK 44 L/55 gun. Developed between 1943 and 1944, it served from 1944 on the Western Front and in Central Europe. The Jagdtiger became famous for its unprecedented firepower and armor, seeing action during the Ardennes offensive, among others. However, due to its limited mobility and large size, it was difficult to use effectively in combat.

Product Details and Advantages

The Eduard 36487 set allows you to replace the factory plastic fenders with ultra-thin, accurately reproduced photo-etched details. The kit includes both front and rear fenders, along with mounting elements that—thanks to precise photo-etching—feature realistic holes, embossments, and details characteristic of the original Jagdtiger vehicles.

Assembly of photo-etched accessories requires basic tools (e.g. modeling scissors, tweezers, CA glue) and some proficiency in handling delicate metal parts. The set is intended for demanding modelers looking to bring their Hobby Boss model up to the highest competition level.

• Assembly difficulty: 4/5
• Recommended for advanced and intermediate modelers
• An excellent choice for those who want to improve the realism of the base kit

Eduard 36487 Jagdtiger Fenders is a must-have for enthusiasts of WWII German armored vehicles and modelers seeking to achieve an authentic look for their 1/35 scale replicas.
