I now almost finished another subject that took quite some time. Last year, I built an Elefant, the slightly converted Ferdinand (Sd Kfz 184), which was constructed using the Porsche Tiger chassis. The tank depicted was issued to the first company of Schwere Panzerjägerabteilung 653, which was sent to Italy in February 1944. The specific vehicle chosen was 124, which was left behind destroyed in the village of Soriano Nell Chimino in July 1944.

The tank was built using the Tamiya Elefant kit, with the large Aber upgrade set. I also added the Ferdinand/Elefant crew from Royal Model, which comes in two different sets.

I made the base from Styrofoam, with a façade of an Italian pharmacy in the back, that was inspired from the original pictures.
