The Trumpeter 01515 VK 3001(H) PzKpfw VI (Ausf A) features a prototype version of the German medium tank, which was one of the developmental links to the later Tiger. The VK 3001(H) project was a competitor to vehicles such as the PzKpfw IV and a testbed for new technical solutions. Although no unit was put into regular combat service, the vehicle was used as a research platform by German forces, mainly between 1940–1942, with several chassis adapted as self-propelled guns. The Trumpeter replica faithfully recreates the tank’s specific silhouette, original armor, as well as the characteristic details of the hull and turret.

We recommend this model to intermediate and advanced modelers due to its moderate level of complexity (difficulty level 3/5). It is especially attractive for fans of unique projects, collectors of German armored vehicles, as well as those building historical dioramas from the early years of WWII. The precision of detail and excellent part quality make it easily expandable with aftermarket accessories such as photo-etched parts or metal barrels, available separately.

High sprue quality and clear assembly instructions guarantee satisfaction and an outstanding final result. The Trumpeter 01515 VK 3001(H) PzKpfw VI (Ausf A) model is an excellent base for your own historical conversions and modifications.
