1/35 Modelcollect UA35004 German WWII sdkfz 553/A medium fighting Mech

Product Description

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.

The mechanical structure and operating system of the E-100 Ausf. six-footers have proven to be superior on the battlefield. Germany had decided to apply the same technology to one-man or two-man smaller vehicles in order to use it for stricter requirements for missions with very high maneuverability for reconnaissance in mountain areas, which could not be carried out in full by the other leg armoured vehicles. The "Kaiserkäfer" was therefore developed as a special vehicle, which has exactly the same shape and functional legs from the applied technology of the E-100 Ausf. six-footer in reduced size. The 7.5 cm Pak with fully automatic loader can be manually directed and fired by the driver, similar to the system based on the one-man fighter aircraft developed by Messerschmitt AG. In this context, the cockpit opens up like an aircraft to ensure better accessibility for maintenance work and a more important and faster evacuation of the crew.
