Modelcollect UA72018 German WWII E-50 Medium Tank 1/72 – Plastic model tank kit

Modelcollect UA72018 German WWII E-50 Medium Tank in 1/72 scale is a high-quality plastic model kit, replicating one of the most intriguing German armored projects from the World War II era. This kit is an excellent choice for both advanced modelers and those just beginning their journey with historical modeling, especially enthusiasts of Third Reich armored vehicles.

The E-50 medium tank was one of the planned vehicles in the German Panzerkampfwagen E (Entwicklung) series, aimed at unifying Wehrmacht armored vehicle designs. Although the E-50 never entered serial production or saw combat, it is considered a technologically advanced design based on experiences from the World War II frontlines. The model portrays a hypothetical vehicle developed to replace, among others, the Panther and Tiger tanks. It was designed towards the end of the war, during 1944–1945. German armaments factories intended for it to become the main tank of the future, but the end of hostilities halted the E program's development.
