Zvezda 3659 German Tank Destroyer Elefant 1/35 – 1/35 scale tank destroyer model

Zvezda 3659 German Tank Destroyer Elefant 1/35 is an extremely detailed plastic model kit representing the German tank destroyer Elefant from World War II. This model kit offers a faithful replica of one of the most famous and, at the same time, controversial armored vehicles of the Wehrmacht, which became a symbol of German engineering as well as the challenges related to designing heavily armed armored vehicles.

The 1/35 scale allows for the recreation of every detail—from the characteristic silhouette with its massive, sloped armor plate, to the precisely replicated track links and main armament—the powerful 88 mm Pak 43/2 L/71 gun. The model is made from high-quality plastic, providing durability as well as ease of processing and assembly. The manufacturer, Zvezda, has supplied a precisely cast kit that enables even demanding modelers to showcase the smallest construction elements, such as hatches, tools, or drive assemblies. The kit does not include glue or paints, giving you complete freedom in choosing accessories and finishing touches.
