Modelcollect UA72140 German WWII 38cm Assault Mortar Sturm E75 1/72 – German WWII Assault Mortar

Modelcollect UA72140 German WWII 38cm Assault Mortar Sturm E75 is a unique plastic model kit in the popular 1/72 scale, depicting an advanced German armored vehicle from the late stages of World War II. The model was designed by the renowned brand Modelcollect, known for its reproduction of unique and hard-to-find military vehicles, including so-called "paper panzers"—machines conceived at the drawing board but often never put into mass production.

The Sturm E75 with a 38cm caliber gun is a fictional German vehicle based on the heavy E-75 ‘Entwicklung’ tank, which was intended to be part of a series of standardized vehicles to replace existing tank types. The E-75 (Entwicklung 75) project was created as part of the German armored forces' modernization program. The main task of the Sturm version was to support advancing infantry with a powerful 38cm mortar, similar to the armament known from the ‘Sturmtiger’. This design was to be used in urban combat and during sieges of fortified enemy positions, but it never entered serial production nor saw front-line action, existing only in conceptual and design phases (1944–1945, World War II, Germany).

The presented UA72140 model is made from high-quality plastic, enabling precise recreation of details and complex structural elements. The kit includes meticulously designed sprues with parts for assembling the vehicle, featuring richly detailed surfaces and armament to allow for a realistic representation of this unique vehicle in 1/72 scale. The model does not include extras such as photo-etched or resin parts, but it can be easily upgraded with aftermarket accessories available in the modeling market.
