The "Elefant" (1 Viewer)

the Elefant only had one ineffecive machine gun which made it vulnerable to infantry intack like in the battle of Kursk

This is so true. The version at Kursk, the Ferdinand, had no hull machine gun for close in defense. I remember reading, somewhere, that the crew was forced to shoot down the barrel of the main armament if they wanted to use a MG for defense. This couldn't have worked well or been very effective. After Kursk, this weakness was addressed by adding a hull MG to the surviving Ferdinands. The revamped Ferdinand was renamed the Elephant. -- Al

I'm guessing size and use. It's a very big model and hard to use in a small display area. But it is a very nice and historically important model
