The Tamiya 35295 German Heavy Tank Destroyer Jagdtiger Early Production model is a faithfully reproduced plastic assembly kit in the popular 1/35 scale, depicting the German heavy tank destroyer Jagdtiger (Sd.Kfz.186) in its early production version from World War II. The kit was released in 2008 by the renowned Tamiya company, known for its highest quality craftsmanship and attention to historical details.

The Jagdtiger was the heaviest operational armored vehicle used during World War II – produced from 1944 to 1945, based on the chassis of the King Tiger and equipped with a powerful 128 mm PaK 44 L/55 gun. On both the Western and Eastern fronts, it served as an armored “hunter” for Allied tanks and armored vehicles, including the Battle of the Bulge and Eastern Front engagements. Only about 80 units were built, making it a highly valued vehicle among military enthusiasts.
