Instead of a typical tank, a specialized tank destroyer construction was chosen, armed with the legendary PaK 43\/2 L\/71 88 mm anti-tank gun. The vehicle was renowned for its excellent firepower and thick frontal armor—which made it one of the most formidable tank hunters of its era.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    \u003cstrong\u003eThe Ferdinands were used in combat for the first time during the Battle of Kursk in 1943\u003c\/strong\u003e, fighting mainly on the Eastern Front. Despite their powerful firepower, their effectiveness was limited by weak side armor, lack of infantry defense, and mobility issues. After upgrades in 1944, they entered service as the \"Elefant.\"\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/35\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of operator:\u003c\/strong\u003e Germany (Third Reich)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeriod of service:\u003c\/strong\u003e World War II (mainly 1943–1945)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKit material:\u003c\/strong\u003e high-quality plastic with photo-etched details\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e plastic model kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eFeatures of the Dragon 6726 kit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    The set features highly detailed hull, turret, running gear, and 88 mm gun elements.
