Trumpeter 01587 - 1/35 Krupp Ardelt Waffentrager 88mm PAK-43 Scale Kit  [TP01587]

1/35 Scale Reproduction of the Krupp Ardelt Waffentrager

The Trumpeter 01587 kit recreates the Krupp Ardelt Waffentrager in fine scale, capturing the experimental layout used to mount the 88mm PAK-43. This set is aimed at hobbyists who enjoy historically inspired builds and precision modelling work. The kit emphasises the distinctive low-protection hull and exposed gun arrangement that defined the prototype.

Prototype Components and Modelling Highlights

The original Waffentrager combined elements from the Hetzer and 38 D series plus a Tatra V12 diesel, and this kit reflects those origins. With over 1010 parts, including metal gun barrel elements and photo-etched details, builders face a detailed assembly that rewards careful work.
