Historical Information

The P.1000 Ratte is one of the best-known designs for German super-heavy tanks (so-called Landkreuzer), which were intended to change the course of World War II. Conceived by the Krupp company, this colossal vehicle of over 1000 tons was to be armed, among others, with two 280mm guns and a series of secondary weapons. Ultimately, the program was canceled in 1943 by Adolf Hitler and never entered serial production, remaining one of the most interesting curiosities of German wartime technology. Germany remains the only nation that seriously considered fielding such a gigantic tank. The model faithfully reproduces the main features of the design, and its assembly allows you to experience 1940s engineering firsthand.
