I felt the need to build and represent a little known aspect of the Epic battles fought on the Eastern Front. These Armored Giants were of often thought of as to heavy, hard to maintain, and just hulks. However after doing my reasurch these were very effective killers of any tank they encountered. This is a wonderful kit to build, kept me interested the entire time. Very good fit of parts, but watch the front fenders for proper final fit. The easy link tracks are easy to build, but the numbering to end up with proper sag was incorrect. I ended up needing to add extra links. I left off the zimmeret due to the complexity of the kit. And in photos some tanks did not have it applied. Due to the fact these beasts were so rare ... Less than 90 units built you should build one for your collection.

This rare tank the German army used in the Battle of Kursk and in northern Italy after the italians surendered to the Allies, this is a fun build, it took me about 35 hours over a 3 week period, building, painting and detailing ect. i also added the new Zimmerit stick on coating offered by the Hobbylinc store, and i also added the 88mm Pak43 metal gun barrel, these really makes the tank look realistic.

Absolutely loved putting this model together. Only issue was gun locking mechanism, it was a little difficult
