Modelcollect UA72076 Rheintochter 1 Movable Missile Launcher on E100 1/72

Modelcollect UA72076 Rheintochter 1 Movable Missile Launcher on E100 in 1/72 scale is a unique plastic model kit representing an experimental German design from the end of World War II. This set combines two planned, never-realized military projects of the Third Reich: the powerful, super-heavy E-100 tank chassis and the Rheintochter R1 anti-aircraft missile launcher. This one-of-a-kind kit from Modelcollect allows you to recreate a hypothetical version of a mobile platform designed to protect key installations from Allied air attacks.

• Scale: 1/72
• Country of Use: Germany (Third Reich)

• Category: plastic model kit
• Assembly Difficulty: 3/5 (intermediate – detailed launcher construction, requires manual experience with assembling models with small parts)

The Rheintochter R1 was one of the first anti-aircraft missile launchers in history developed in Germany. The E-100 tank itself was intended to rival the famous Maus as an armored vehicle boasting extraordinary firepower and armor. In this hypothetical variant, Modelcollect presents what an integrated anti-aircraft missile launcher mounted on the E-100 might have looked like—a perfect example of the so-called "wonder weapon" (German: Wunderwaffe) from the twilight of the Third Reich.

Modelcollect UA72076 stands out for the accuracy of its details—from the impressive size of the E-100 chassis to the realistic reproduction of the Rheintochter missiles with a movable launch platform. This set is an excellent addition to any collection of World War II armored vehicles as well as a fascinating exhibit for fans of alternate history projects and experimental vehicles.

We highly recommend this kit to both intermediate and experienced modelers interested in military history and German military technology of the 1940s. Due to the rarity of the subject, this model is a true treat to build and display impressively in a diorama or collection.
