Technical and historical description

The Tiger (P) VK 45.01 was one of the most ambitious German heavy tank prototypes, designed by Ferdinand Porsche. Its innovative electric drive and powerful armament made it a groundbreaking project for its time. Although the project was ultimately not put into mass production, and the Wehrmacht chose the competing Henschel design (Tiger I), the chassis of the completed Tigers (P) were used to create the Ferdinand/Elefant tank destroyers, which participated in the Battle of Kursk.

The product is recommended for both beginner and intermediate modelers. The assembly difficulty is rated as 1/5 – easy, thanks to its simplified design and schematic assembly instructions. We recommend it to all armored vehicle fans, chibi miniature collectors, and anyone looking for a fun and original gift model.
