Dragon Armor 1:72 Tiger II Prototype, VK.45.02(P)H Eastern Front 1945 No. 60588

Description: Dragon Armor Tiger II Prototype - VK.45.02(P)Hintern ("backside" or "butt" in German) No. 60588, Vintage year - 2013, Scale - 1:72 Unit - Unidentified Campaign - Eastern Front 1945 Markings - Dark tan and brown camouflage with octopus pattern dots and tow cables on side. Good luck towing this out of a mud pit though as it weighed 57 tons. Model - Porsche-Hintern - this unsuccessful heavy tank project was initiated by Porsche and development started in April 1942. The Krupp company received an order for construction of turrets but the prototype hull was never manufactured. The turrets were ultimately mounted on the first Tiger IIs. Porsche realized that simply increasing the armor on the VK4501 (P) was insufficient for the tank to remain competitive. The new version needed more weight and more maneuverability. The 'Typ 180' grew into various vehicles with different hull configurations - the Hintern (with turret at the back) and the Vorne (with turret on front). Both versions had an electric and a hydraulic drive system and four different engines. The overall project came to be known as the VK.02(P). The gun was the KwK L/71 (same as the King Tiger). The Tiger II (Henschel) won out as it possessed a better turret with thicker armor and eliminated the shot trap (a location where, depending on angle of impact, an incoming shell that fails to penetrate may bounce off and hit another area where it is more likely to cause damage to vehicle or crew - initial Panther and Tiger II tanks for example). The final version of the Tiger II did not feature the curved front of the early turret and used a flat plate sloped back 10 degrees. Also, the whole tank design was also more angular and thus easier to manufacture. Condition - New with minor wear on cardboard box. Thank you for your interest.
