The Panzerkampfwagen VII Löwe (from German "lion") was one of the most ambitious armored projects by the Krupp company for the German Wehrmacht between 1941 and 1942. The inspiration for this project came from analysis of Soviet super-heavy tanks. Two versions of the vehicle were designed: a lighter and a heavier one, but ultimately the Schwerer Löwe variant was selected, which was intended to later replace the Tiger II. Due to a gradual shift in concepts toward ever larger designs, the Löwe project was abandoned in favor of the even more massive Maus. No example of the tank was ever built, but preserved plans and documentation continue to inspire both modelers and historians to this day.

The Armory Models set reproduces the vehicle with attention to historical detail – the turret, armor elements, and distinctive hull reflect the real appearance of the planned vehicle according to surviving designs. The model is made up of high-quality plastic sprues, ensuring convenient assembly and a satisfying finished effect. Because of the prototype nature of the original, this model makes a unique addition to dioramas and layouts devoted to the secret weapons of the Third Reich.

We recommend this product to modelers of intermediate and advanced skill levels (difficulty: 3/5) who value historical accuracy and want to distinguish their collection with an extraordinary, rarely seen armored vehicle. Armory Models 72201 Pz.VII Löwe is also an excellent base for custom modifications and enhancement.
