The “Dicker Max,” formally Schwerer Panzerjäger “Dicker Max” (Sd.Kfz. 138/1), was a German prototype heavy self-propelled gun armed with a 10.5 cm cannon, which saw limited front-line service during Operation Barbarossa in 1941 on the Eastern Front. This unique vehicle, mainly used for destroying fortifications and heavy infantry, was produced in only a handful of examples, but thanks to its powerful armament and distinctive silhouette, it has become popular among military modelers worldwide.

Why choose the Panzer Art RE35-042 set?

This resin set is designed to replace the stock barrel of the “Dicker Max” model (e.g., Trumpeter, Dragon), offering much finer detail replication and the characteristic texture of the canvas cover that protects the barrel from dirt and corrosion. It is perfect for intermediate and advanced modelers who want to elevate their model to a museum-quality level. The product requires basic resin modeling skills, such as sanding, fitting, and painting.

• Difficulty level: 3/5
• Recommendation: for modelers who want to add exceptionally realistic detail and enhance their “Dicker Max” replica
