Hobby Boss 83891 German VK.3001(P) 1/35 is an exceptionally detailed plastic model kit representing a German prototype medium tank from World War II. In 1/35 scale, this model faithfully recreates the unique design created by Ferdinand Porsche at the request of the Wehrmacht. The VK 30.01 (P) project, also known as Porsche Typ 100, was conceived between 1940-1941 as a prototype intended to serve as the basis for future heavy armored vehicles. Ultimately, only two prototype hulls were produced, and the project evolved into the famous VK 4501 Tiger (P).

This offering from Hobby Boss provides a kit that will satisfy both advanced and ambitious intermediate modelers. The set consists of over 400 plastic parts, allowing for a very accurate replica of the original vehicle. It includes nine sprues featuring detailed hull and chassis components, with separate, individual track links that greatly enhance the final realism of the model. The kit also contains one photo-etched sheet, making it possible to achieve the finest details that are impossible to reproduce in plastic, such as grilles and armor elements. The product does not include resin parts or metal barrels, which makes assembly easier.

Historically, the VK 30.01(P) was an experimental vehicle, tested mainly at Porsche facilities and never saw front-line action. However, its design and the experience gained during development had a significant influence on the subsequent development of Tiger heavy tanks.
