Takom 2158 VK.168.01 (P) Super Heavy Tank 1/35 – Plastic Model Kit

The Takom 2158 VK.168.01 (P) Super Heavy Tank model in 1/35 scale is a proposition for advanced modelers and enthusiasts of World War II military history. This kit represents the super heavy tank VK.168.01 (P) designed by Ferdinand Porsche in Germany. It is an extremely interesting armored vehicle project that never advanced beyond planning and prototype technical drawings, subsequently serving as inspiration for later projects such as the Panzerkampfwagen VIII "Maus".

The order for the VK.168.01 (P) was issued in the summer of 1942 by the Reich Ministry of Armament. The project aimed to create a vehicle with extremely thick armor and a large-caliber gun, capable of engaging Allied heavy tanks and fortifications. The main feature distinguishing the VK.168.01 (P) from the earlier Mäuschen was the relocation of the turret to the front of the hull. Although the project was never completed, its technical documentation has survived and continues to inspire modelers and military historians.
