The vehicle was equipped with the powerful 88 mm PaK 43\/2 L\/71 anti-tank gun and thick armor plating. Only 91 units were produced – they were mainly used by the German Army between 1943 and 1945. Its most famous combat use was during the Battle of Kursk on the Eastern Front. After modifications following the Battle of Kursk (improved armor, addition of an MG 34 machine gun), the Elefant also fought on the Italian front. Despite technical difficulties and susceptibility to infantry attacks, it became renowned for its extraordinary firepower and resistance to fire from Allied tanks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTrumpeter 07204 Model Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale: 1:72 – ideal for collections, dioramas, and smaller spaces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: high-quality plastic, ensuring precise replication of vehicle details.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountry of origin (real vehicle): Germany.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHistorical period: World War II (years 1943–1945).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel intended for assembly – requires glue and paint (not included).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe box includes a detailed building guide and decals for model customization.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCategory: plastic model kit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAssembly difficulty: 2\/5 – suitable for beginners and intermediate modelers.
