Amusing Hobby "1/35 German Heavy Tank Destroyer Elephant Full Interior" plastic model. In October 1942, Porsche and Henschel tested prototype Tiger cars. As a result, Henschel's VK4501(H) was chosen, but Porsche had been given permission to produce 90 VK4501(P) chassis before the test. In addition, in case it was rejected, a heavily defended tank destroyer with 200mm frontal armor and an 8.8cm Pak43/2 main gun was planned, resulting in the birth of the ``Ferdinand'' and later the ``Elephant.'' To do. The biggest feature of this vehicle is that it uses an electric motor as the drive unit. With the technology available at the time, it was difficult to create a transmission that could move a heavy tank weighing over 50 tons, so Dr. Porsche adopted an electric type that did not require a transmission. The electric type uses a gasoline engine to run a generator, and the generated electricity drives the motor, allowing continuously variable speed without the need for a transmission. However, because they are less energy efficient than gasoline engines, they lack the ability to climb steep slopes, and it is difficult to synchronize the left and right drive motors, resulting in problems with straight-line performance. Despite having these problems, it seems to have been highly evaluated in terms of operation, such as not requiring shift changes. In November 1943, the name was changed from ``Ferdinand'' to ``Elephant'' and renovations were also carried out, including the installation of a new commander's cupola and the addition of a machine gun on the hull. After that, "Elephant" was sent to the Italian front to participate in the Battle of Anzio from 1944. It gradually wears out during the battle, but during the operation, two Elephant tanks were able to destroy multiple American tanks. The reason for the losses in battles after 1944 was that the suspension parts suffered severe wear and tear due to the heavy weight that exceeded the design value. In addition, regular overhauls were not possible due to the fierce battles, resulting in breakdowns, and problems with the weight of the vehicle, which made it impossible to tow, and it seems that many of the losses were due to being discarded on the battlefield. The kit has full interior specifications. Characteristic structures such as the installation of two Maybach engines are precisely reproduced. You can reproduce Zimmerit coating with DEF.MODEL water transfer decals. *This product is a plastic model that requires assembly and painting. *Adhesive, tools, paint, etc. are required separately for assembly and painting. *"Plastic model" is a registered trademark owned by the Japan Plastic Model Industry Cooperative.
