Assembly model 1:72 German tank Pz.VII Löwe Armory AR72201

PzKpfw VII Löwe ("Lion") is the official designation of a heavy breakthrough tank. The tank was not embodied in metal - there are only various unfinished drawings. A rough wood model of one of the variants with a tower in the stern was also created. The Lion tank was supposed to use a modified PzKpfw VI Tiger chassis with improved armor and a more powerful artillery gun. A 15 cm KwK L/40, 12.8 cm KwK L/60 or 10.5 cm KwK L/70 installation was envisaged as a tank gun. With the expected powerful armor of any variant of the "Lev" tank, and artillery weapons, the armor penetration of which could not be resisted by the armor of any type of Soviet tank of that time, it had low mobility (due to low specific power), which was inferior even to serial heavy German tanks .
