1/35 E-75 105mm “Tiger III” Fist of War Modelcollect #UA35013 Factory Seal MISB

Description: I need to clear some space on my shelves, so I need to part with some of my collection. Modelcollect is a relative newcomer to the model world, but has established a fabulous reputation for innovation and quality. They initially produced some small scale finished models and later branched out into kits and larger scales. Their niche market has been as the only source for unique subjects related to the Fist Of War games, including many hypothetical subjects that never actually existed. This interesting kit falls into that category. The E-75 Tiger III is a logical extension of the Entwicklung (or E-Series) of standardized tank designs being developed in the late stages of WWII by the Germans. The E-75 was the Heavy Tank (equivalent to the King Tiger) and with enough time and resources, it is plausible that a 105mm gun could be fitted in this class. I see that there are only a handful of eBay listings (mostly from Asia) for this kit, so you can consider it rare and hard-to-find, but I have it in stock and as a Top Rated Plus US Seller, I have this in stock and can ship this kit very quickly. Here is what I have learned about this state-of-the-art kit: The Modelcollect website has a page for this kit that shows the impressive box art but has no other information about this kit. From other sources, I have found the following information about their kit: The concept of the Fist of War series is based on an alternative timeline in which the end of WWII is delayed by two years, where we explore the possibility of what the hypothetical advancement of weapons development being affected in and since this time period. Furthermore, the premise of this SF-inspired “superior technology” is that the inception of multi-legged artillery originated with the German military and spread throughout the world. This imagination is richly established through this series of models. · Assembly model kit in 1/35 scale German E-75 “Tiger III” w/10.5cm L/68 gun.· The track links are non-working separate type (requires gluing).· Turret rotates 360 degrees and 10.5cm gun elevates.· True-to-plan mass production efficiency design; Direction-free track links.· Easy assembly sequence for fast and quick build. Water slide decal is included. Scalemates.com shows that this is a 2019 release as part of a wave of variant kits that year. They show the box art and give us a few links to products and very nice gallery that could be useful in your build, but not much specific information about this kit. YouTube has a few videos documenting this Tiger III kit, as well as ones very similar to it. There is a 5 minute Unboxing Video by comet a34 that goes through the contents of the 128mm L/55 variant (#UA35012) very thoroughly, without a lot of fanfare. The same team follows that up with a longer Build Video to give you an idea of how great one of these kits can come out. They even show an E-50 done up the same way for comparison. RPG-IV Scale Models also shows how he built his kit and gives you some tips to get the best results. This kit is in a large, sturdy box about 13” x 10” x 3”, with a great image of this mythical beast. As you can see from the pictures, the package is pristine and still sealed with four tape strips (these were never shrink wrapped from the factory), so it is factory sealed and absolutely gift-ready. This item contains one complete injection molded plastic model kit, with light grey plastic parts, Cartograf decals and a very nice instruction booklet. It requires cement and paint to complete as shown. I use eBay Managed Payments, but I no longer ship internationally. Auction winner pays winning bid and for a limited time, this large item is offered with $9 Flat Rate Shipping in the US! No reserve and a low starting bid. Check out my other great auctions and listings for combined shipping. Good luck! Those familiar with my listings can tell that I really enjoy these products and the modeling hobby. I like to provide more than just the bare facts about the items, trying to lead you into discovering more about the subjects and optimizing your builds (if that is your goal). I started out picking up models that I was interested in, with the eye toward building them when I had time. Always a bargain-hunter, I accumulated many more than I can build, so I found myself in a Collector status (sounds nicer than a hoarder). As I am sure you have noticed, my items are almost always sealed and in mint condition (I call them Gift-Ready), since I only open them when I am ready to build them. Now I enjoy making these products available to my fellow modelers; both Builders and Collectors. For the Builders, there are probably better (at least cheaper) ways to add to your project lists than buying from me, but you know you are getting top quality. For Collectors, my goal is to save you a few bucks over the competition for the same item in factory sealed and collectible (or resellable) condition.
