The prototype heavy tank VK36.01 (also known as the Pz.Kpfw.VI Ausf.B) was a design developed by the Germans from 1941–1943, parallel to the development of the famous Tiger tank. Although it never entered serial production nor saw direct combat, it was intended as a response to increasingly well-armored Allied vehicles. Importantly, this vehicle was a crucial step in the development of German armored designs, serving as a transitional link between earlier projects and mass production of the Tigers. The Rye Field Model kit perfectly replicates the hull, turret and special track link details, and the abundance of parts will be a challenge both for intermediate and more advanced hobbyists.

The Rye Field Model 5036 Pz.Kpfw.VI (7.5cm) Ausf.B VK36.01 with workable track links is an ideal choice for military modelers, collectors of German tanks, and everyone who values precise craftsmanship. Thanks to a clear manual and well-thought-out design, assembling the kit is not only satisfying, but also provides technical insights about this little-known yet fascinating vehicle. We rate the build difficulty at 3/5, meaning it is recommended for ambitious modellers with some experience as well as intermediate hobbyists looking to develop their skills.

The Rye Field Model 5036 kit guarantees the highest level of detail, perfect fit, and uniqueness in any World War II military model collection.
