Takom 1/35 Scale Concept Military Vehicle Kit
Takom German WWII Vk100.01(p) K3382 Heavy Tank Concept (1/35)
Takoms 02187 kit builds the speculative German Vk100.01(p) K3382 heavy tank, a late_war engineering concept featuring reinforced armour and turret-mounted 17_cm KwK_44 gun. Though never built, the design explores heavy breakthrough vehicle theory and offers striking scale presence.
- 1/35 scale injection-moulded plastic model (Takom 02187)
- Massive turret housing for hypothetical 17_cm main armament
- Full suspension layout with torsion bars, large road wheels, idlers and return rollers
- Two-part main gun barrel and detailed mantlet assembly
- Photo-etched parts for vision blocks, turret hatches, engine vents and stowage brackets
- Clear parts for optics, headlights and observation devices
Note, glue and paints are not included, this concept tank requires careful build planning for balance and superstructure alignment.
Conceptual Background,
The Vk100.01(p) K3382 was a Porsche_designed heavy tank proposal weighing over 100_tonnes, designed to mount a massive 17_cm gun in a heavily armoured turret. Though only speculative, it reflects Germanys late_war emphasis on super_heavy breakthrough tanks.
