Modelcollect UA72133 German WWII E-100 super heavy tank with 128mm flak 40 gun (1/72) – Plastic tank model kit

Modelcollect UA72133 is a high-quality plastic model kit representing the German super-heavy E-100 tank with a powerful 128mm Flak 40 anti-aircraft gun, available in the popular 1/72 scale. This model captures with great precision the details of this unusual armored vehicle, which was intended to be the culmination of the German Army’s “Entwicklung” (E-Series) program in the final years of World War II. The E-100 is a hypothetical vehicle—work on its prototype ended at the stage of an unpowered hull, which was captured by the Allies in 1945 in the German town of Haustenbeck. The Germans designed the E-100 to be the largest, heaviest armored tank of a new generation, theoretically set to compete with Allied super-heavy tanks, such as the Soviet IS-7.

A standout feature of this model is its mounted powerful Flak 40 128mm gun, best known as an anti-aircraft artillery piece, but often considered as armament for experimental armored vehicles. An E-100 equipped in this way never reached production, but the concept has inspired fascination for years among history enthusiasts and modelers interested in “paper panzer” vehicles—hypothetical German designs from the final years of WWII (1939-1945).
