Next year, two prototype heavy tanks were ready. The tank created by Henshel company won and its mass production was immediately launched. The tank was named “Tiger”. Tigers were first used in combat in the end of 1942, but only in limited quantities. The full-scale use of the tank started the next year.

Pak 40 Anti-tank Gun with Crew Expansion set (6257)

By the 1941 it became clear that Pz.Kpfw. IV’s gun was inefficient against well-armoured tanks. A modification of the tank with more powerful gun was being developed since the beginning of 1941. The requirements for the tank’s gun were changed several times. The final version was a 75-mm gun based on the Pak 40 anti-tank gun. The new modification of the tank was named Pz.Kpfw. IV Ausf.F2. Its mass production began in March of 1942.
