Details:
Ninety of these huge 88mm Tank Destroye, based on the
Tiger VK4501 (P) (see G105 & G109) were manufactured
in early 1943 in time for the Kursk offensive.
However following
their disappointing debut performance the remaining
fortythree vehicles were withdrawn for modifications,
that in addition to a number of minor alterations, included
the addition of a commanders cupola and a hull Machine
Gun. These upgraded vehicles were then renamed as the
Elephant. (This will be the subject of a new
model)
