Posted by Razzie43 on Friday, September 11, 2015 8:59 AM

Before the Tiger Tank came, 2 desigers had to deal with Hitler's new idea(order)!

Henschel (made VK 4501 H) and Porsche make with Krupp the tank VK 4501 P.Later came the VK4502 vorne and Hinten(Porsche design).VK stands for Versuchskonstruktion(Experimental design).

Hi folks,to find this tank, it was not easy...and lucky some guy sell it for a good price on the web.I start to change some parts on the tank...gun,viewports,etc

Last Photo those parts are from Hobby boss kit nr 82445 :)

 

sorry photo's are gone(webstorage is full)

looking for a solution @ the moment!

I've always wondered if there was a kit for this beast. I suppose I could have looked lol, but you've obviously answered that question for me.

Do you plan on making it a what-if, or one of the trial runners?

Nice to see this being built, I have been meaning to get one of these forages. Look forward to seeing more. Mike, Dragon have released 2 kits of this that I remember, can't recall the kit numbers off the top of my head.

Edit: Mike, actually they have done 3. The first, the one being bult here, is 6210. The second is a premium Edition and is 6352 and the third, released last year and with Zimm is 6797. Italeri has also produced one of these.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

Very well done on those effects!! I'm taking a few notes from you on this one. I like how you added dirt where the crew was walking on it.

Nice touch!

They are called "shackles" or sometimes "D rings". We used them a lot when I was rigging stuff for over-seas transport.
