It is a rare subject for collectors of prototype panzers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlso known as the Typ 100 or Leopard, it used petrol electric drive and longitudinal torsion bars, ideas Porsche carried into the VK 45.01(P) Tiger contender and later the Elefant. Porsche's ideas were technically ambitious but suffered from reliability problems, and Henschel's competing designs were preferred for production. Even so, the petrol electric drive reappeared in the Elefant tank destroyer and the Maus. The VK 30.01(P) makes an intriguing addition to a collection of German prototypes and pairs neatly with 1\/35 Tiger and Elefant kits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInjection moulded plastic parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePorsche style running gear with distinctive suspension units\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpper and lower hull with turret\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDecals included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003ePaints, plastic cement and tools are required and sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hobby Boss","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53961842983178,"sku":"HBB83891","price":41.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0861\/4966\/0938\/files\/5bd94b4ec0872.jpg?v=1792874217","url":"https:\/\/super-models.co.uk\/products\/hobby-boss-german-vk-30-01-p-prototype-tank-83891","provider":"SuperModels","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
