[1/32 German Tank Destroyer Jagdtiger (Henschel Suspension)]
――The Jagdtiger is a German heavy tank destroyer that was developed in the latter half of World War II and put into actual battle.
--The chassis of the heavy tank Tiger II was extended, the turret was removed, a battle room was constructed, and a 12.8 cm gun was installed.
――The chassis is based on the Tiger II, but it has been extended by about 26 cm due to the mounting of the 128 mm cannon, and the spacing between the wheels has been changed, but there are two types of traveling devices.
――One is the Porsche type made in the early stage of production, which uses the exterior type vertical torsion bar suspension adopted by Porsche in elephant tank destroyers and the like.
――In appearance, you can see eight wheels in the Porsche type.
――The other is a Henschel traveling device that uses an internal torsion bar suspension. The Henschel type has 9 sets of 18 wheels on each side, similar to the Tiger II.
-The Porsche type was used for the early chassis because it was said to be excellent in production cost and manufacturing time reduction, maintainability, and weight reduction, but the problem that the track pulsated up and down occurred in the running device test of the Board of Ordnance. I couldn't solve it, so I ended up with 10 cars (chassis No.305001 --305011.
――The 305002 is a Henschel type) only, and 5 of them are only deployed in the 653rd Heavy Tank Destroyer Battalion.

[Series features]
--The Metal Proud (R) Standard Series aims to achieve a new collector's grade standard by pursuing material durability in consideration of rigidity and flexibility, manual painting process, and readable micro-markings by high-precision tampo printing. Furthermore, it is a next-generation finished hobby series that can be enjoyed by decorating it as it is in the window package (inner box) with a realistic display base and background image, or by taking it out, touching it, and moving it.
