Produced on the chassis of the Tiger (P) tank, which was not approved for service, it was developed in response to the need for countering heavily-armored Soviet vehicles. Germany deployed the Ferdinands mainly during the Battle of Kursk in 1943, where they gained a reputation for extraordinary firepower and armor, but were also criticized for lacking a machine gun and for frequent mechanical breakdowns. They were used exclusively by the German army on the Eastern Front from 1943 to 1945.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eFeatures of the Dragon 6495 Sd.Kfz.184 Ferdinand Model\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eScale: 1\/35\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCountry of use: Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eHistorical period: World War II, Battle of Kursk 1943\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMaterial: high-quality plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDetailed hull, turrets, and suspension elements\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePhoto-etched complementary parts highlighting the model’s realism\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eOptional side skirts, partially opening hatches\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eTrack links molded with great attention to detail\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAssembly instructions with historical painting suggestions from the Battle of Kursk\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eWho Is It Recommended For?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    The Dragon 6495 Sd.Kfz.184 Ferdinand – Kursk 1943 (1\/35) model is particularly recommended for experienced modelers, enthusiasts of World War II armored vehicles, and collectors of German military equipment.
