Historical description

The VK 100.01 (P) K3382 model reproduces the prototype of the super-heavy tank designed by Ferdinand Porsche in 1942. This vehicle was intended to fill the developmental gap between the heavy Tiger tanks and the experimental Maus. Although it only existed in the design and prototype phase, some of its concepts were utilized in later German armored designs. The development of this colossus, capable of overcoming enemy armored forces, is part of the history of "impossible tanks" projects of World War II.
