Dragon 6797 Sd.Kfz.181 Panzerkampfwagen VI(P) w/Zimmerit (1/35) – Plastic Model Kit

Dragon 6797 Sd.Kfz.181 Panzerkampfwagen VI(P) w/Zimmerit is a unique 1/35 scale plastic model kit designed for demanding modelers interested in World War II armored vehicles. This model from the renowned manufacturer Dragon faithfully reproduces the German design known as the "Tiger (P)" – one of the heavy tank prototypes created by Ferdinand Porsche.

Historical background and usage:
Sd.Kfz.181 Panzerkampfwagen VI(P), commonly known as Tiger (P), was a German heavy tank prototype developed during World War II. Although the version developed by Henschel was ultimately chosen for mass production, around 90 Porsche chassis were produced – some of which were later converted into tank destroyers, such as the Elefant/Ferdinand. The Tiger (P) was primarily used for testing purposes; one unit saw combat with the 653rd Heavy Tank Destroyer Battalion during the fighting on the Eastern Front in 1944.

Historical period: World War II (1939-1945), Germany.

Model details and materials:
The kit is made from high-quality plastic, ensuring precise fit of the parts and sharp detail reproduction. Dragon 6797 stands out with surfaces covered in the characteristic Zimmerit texture – an anti-magnetic coating applied to German tanks from 1943 to prevent magnetic mines from sticking. The kit also includes photo-etched parts that enhance the model’s detail and realism, as well as clear plastic sprues, precise link-and-length tracks, and decals with authentic markings.
