About product

The upper hull of the Elefant tank destroyer with a canvas cover

A replacement upper hull of the German heavy Elefant tank destroyer, and that in the form where the fighting compartment is drawn over with a canvas cover. It is a prominent structural part that transforms the upper silhouette of the whole model, not a small detail to be glued on. A kit of the vehicle is not included in the package.

The real subject

The Elefant was a rebuilt form of a heavy tank destroyer that came about on the chassis of an unsuccessful Porsche heavy tank project. It carried a long 88 mm gun in a fixed superstructure and belonged among the heaviest fighting vehicles of its time. The frontal armor withstood most of the anti-tank weapons of the day, whereas mobility and the reliability of the drive stayed a weak point. It entered the fighting in 1943 in the east, and the last machines saw out their service in Italy.

Building and painting tips

The canvas cover is the main theme here: fabric holds more light than steel and the edges of the folds can be beautifully picked out with a dry brush. Lay the base down in the shade of the canvas, let a darker glaze into the folds and then lighten the peaks slightly. Verify the joint of the part to the lower hull dry and fill any gap before you start with the paint. The tied ends and the ropes deserve a different shade than the fabric itself.

Who the conversion is intended for

  • builders of German heavy hardware of the eastern front
  • dioramas with a vehicle parked out of the fighting
  • modelers who enjoy painting canvas and ropes
  • collectors of conversion parts in 1:35 scale

FAQ

A German heavy tank destroyer with a long 88 mm gun in a fixed superstructure.

Only its upper part. The bottom of the chassis and the running gear stay from the base kit.

By the difference of the surface: a matte base, a darker glaze in the folds and lightened peaks.
