Product Description
[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.
--While many engineers recognize only the negative aspects of the torsion bar, the foresighted genius engineering engineer Dr. Ferdinand Porsche used the Porsche Type 100 suspension, later called the Porsche Suspension. The design changed the situation completely.
-The Porsche suspension is an exterior type, equipped with three bogies with two wheels attached to each side, and it is said that the production cost was lower than the normal torsion bar and the maintainability was also better.
――However, in the field test, there was a tendency that the weight could not be supported and it was damaged on rough terrain.
――Like various other technological innovations, Porsche suspension required many improvements before it could be put into practical use, but I am still surprised that this innovative design was made about 80 years ago. Has been done.

[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.
