Alternate History Tank Models and Sci-Fi Armor from Model Collect
Model Collect's Fist of War series explores fascinating alternate history scenarios through highly detailed scale model kits that reimagine German experimental tank designs and futuristic military vehicles. This comprehensive sci-fi collection brings to life the legendary E-series development program, super-heavy tank concepts, walking mechanized armor, and experimental aircraft that existed only as blueprints or prototypes during World War II. These precision-engineered kits in 1/35 and 1/72 scales provide armor modelers and sci-fi enthusiasts with unique subjects that blend historical authenticity with imaginative futuristic design.
E-Series Experimental Tanks: Alternate History Armor
The E-series development program represented Germany's attempt to rationalize and improve tank production through standardized components and advanced designs. Model Collect's Fist of War series imagines these experimental vehicles brought to operational status with futuristic enhancements. The E-50 Panther II represents the medium tank evolution with improved armor and firepower. The E-60 series features multiple variants including the formidable Sabelzahntiger with twin 12.8cm guns. The E-75 Jagdtiger II provides heavy tank destroyer firepower with advanced armor protection. These kits blend historical German tank design philosophy with sci-fi enhancements.
E-60 Sabelzahntiger: Heavy Tank Variants
The E-60 Sabelzahntiger represents one of the most distinctive designs in the Fist of War series. Multiple variants explore different armament configurations and design evolutions. The E-60 Ausf.B features twin turrets and advanced armor schemes. The E-60 Ausf.D variants showcase different weapon systems including single and twin 12.8cm gun configurations. These kits feature detailed suspension systems, intricate armor plating, and futuristic design elements that distinguish them from conventional World War II armor while maintaining recognizable German design characteristics.
E-75 Jagdtiger II: Advanced Tank Destroyer
The E-75 Jagdtiger II reimagines the heavy tank destroyer concept with enhanced firepower and protection. Available with either PaK 12.8cm L/66 or L/55 main guns, these kits provide options for different tactical configurations. The advanced casemate design features sloped armor optimized for deflecting enemy fire while housing powerful anti-tank weapons. Detailed running gear, suspension components, and surface textures replicate the engineering complexity of these alternate history vehicles.
E-100 Super Heavy Tank: Ultimate Armor
The E-100 Super Heavy Tank represents the pinnacle of German super-heavy tank development in this alternate timeline. This massive 1/35 scale kit captures the imposing presence of a vehicle designed to dominate the battlefield through overwhelming firepower and nearly impenetrable armor. The kit features intricate track assemblies, detailed hull construction, massive turret with powerful main armament, and authentic German design elements scaled up to super-heavy proportions.

These aircraft kits complement the ground vehicle collection with futuristic aviation subjects.
Scale Options: 1/35 and 1/72
Model Collect offers Fist of War subjects in both popular armor modeling scales. The 1/35 scale kits provide maximum detail and impressive display presence, perfect for showcasing intricate engineering and weathering techniques. The 1/72 scale kits offer more compact builds ideal for dioramas, gaming terrain, or collectors with limited display space. Both scales feature excellent detail and engineering, allowing modelers to choose based on their preferences and display requirements.
Detailed Engineering and Construction
Model Collect kits feature precision injection-molded plastic parts with crisp detail and excellent fit. The engineering includes slide-molded components for complex shapes, detailed suspension and running gear, intricate armor texture and surface details, optional parts for different configurations, and clear instructions with painting guides. These kits challenge experienced modelers while remaining accessible to those comfortable with intermediate-level armor kit construction.
Painting and Finishing Opportunities
Alternate history and sci-fi subjects offer creative freedom in paint schemes and weathering. Apply authentic German camouflage patterns using paints from our Mig Acrylic Paints, Tamiya Acrylic Paints, or ICM Acrylic Paints collections. Create futuristic weathering effects using products from our Mig Weathering, Tamiya Weathering & Texture, or Vallejo Weathering FX collections.
Complementary Armor Modeling
Expand your armor collection with conventional tanks from our 1/35 Tanks collection. These Fist of War kits display beautifully alongside historical armor, creating interesting comparisons between actual World War II vehicles and their alternate history counterparts. The shared scale and German design heritage create visual cohesion while the futuristic elements provide striking contrast.
Gaming and Diorama Applications
Fist of War models work excellently for alternate history gaming scenarios, science fiction wargaming terrain, speculative dioramas exploring "what if" scenarios, and display collections showcasing unique armor subjects. The combination of historical design elements and futuristic enhancements makes these models versatile for multiple hobby applications beyond traditional static display.
