If you don't know there are two 1/35 builts of the two models proposed by Porche for the future built of the King Tiger(Tiger II). I think that Henchel and Porche receive the oder to built an heavy tank (more than the Tiger 1) with the armor built of the Panther, with a turret armed with (I think) the 88mm Pak 43.2 (L/71) and a sample built with the old construction equipment. Porche proposed the base frame, the suspension and the electrique transmision of the Ferdinand/Elefant tank and Henchel proposed to built the Tiger II(70 tons) with the engine and transmision of the Panther(40 tons) and 18 swings arms suspension of the Tiger 1(16 swings arms for 50 tons). The Porche projects have beans denied because the lacks of copper production for the electrique transmision. The Henchel have bean produced with no primar field test and that cause the reputation of the Tiger II to always broken down outside the battlefield with the lacks of good mechanics component.
