Italeri re-releases the VK 4501(P) with some improvements.
Ferdinand Porsche developed the heavy tank VK 4501 (P) prototype for the Wehrmacht and introduced several innovative solutions for the time but not enough reliable. In fact, during the testing, the tank highlighted some weaknesses in the driving system and in the engine that didn’t permit to go ahead with the mass production. The German Army preferred the Henschel prototype, the VK 4501 (H), which became the development base for the famous and lethal Tiger I.
Eventually, the first production batch of the VK 4501 (P) Porsche released other versions as the new heavy Jagdpanzer “Ferdinand“ that mounted the longer 88 mm. gun.
This kit of the prototype includes now glueable tracks and a colour instruction sheet.
