1/35 GERMAN HEAVY TANK DESTROYER ELEFANT
Elefant Defense
The German heavy tank destroyer Elefant was armed with a powerful 8.8cm
L/71 gun which could knock out T-34 tanks at a distance of 2,000m,
protected by armor up to 200mm thick, and equipped with advanced
features such as a hybrid drivetrain. It had its roots in the
Porsche-designed Ferdinand, which was first deployed into combat during
the Battle of Kursk in 1943. The lessons learned from that battle
resulted in modifications including the addition of a commander's
cupola, a machine gun for infantry defense, and better tracks and the
enhanced vehicle received the new designation Elefant in February 1944.
Elefants were deployed to Italy and the Eastern Front, where they
continued to defend against Allied forces until the final skirmishes of
the war.
