Das Werk VK 4501(P) Rammtiger (1/35) Item DW35018

Das Werks VK 4501(P) Rammtiger is an ambitious what if project capturing the unrealized German heavy breakthrough tank designed by Ferdinand Porsche in late WWII. Built on a widened Tiger chassis with massive armoured ram buckler, this concept kit includes an imposing front ram plate, metal 8.8 cm KwK main gun barrel, modular hull options, and full hull and turret interior. A bold subject for alternative history modellers.

• 1/35 scale injection moulded plastic kit (Das Werk DW35018)
• Massive ram buckler armour plate for frontal assault builds
• Metal 8.8 cm KwK L/71 gun barrel with breech detail
• Selectable builds: standard hull or heavy armour variant
• Link and length tracks with full suspension detail
• Photo etched grills, vision blocks, hatch details, and interior components
• Clear parts for periscopes and optics

Note: This kit requires assembly and painting. Glue, paints, and tools are not included.

Historical Background:

The VK 4501(P) Rammtiger was a Porsche designed alternative to the Tiger II, featuring a reinforced frontal ram intended to clear anti tank obstacles and fortifications. Although never advanced past proposal stages, it reflects late war German heavy tank experimentation. This kit brings that vision to life with rich interior detail and aggressive styling.
