Hobby Boss 1/35 Hungarian 44M TAS Tank Kit

In 1943 the Hungarian military saw the need for a heavy tank and finally a decision was made to design and build one based on the country’s own military industry. The task was appointed to the Manfréd Weiss Steel and Metal Works, but under the war’s pressure a final version was never released. On July 27, 1944 an allied bomb raid hit the factory and the approximately 80% completed iron prototype was destroyed (just like internal subassemblies of the armored prototype that was in an early phase).
