E-100 Flakpanzer with 12.8cm Flak 40

A superb example of the E-100 that was designed as a super heavy tank but never quite entered service despite the prototype chassis being complete by the end of WWII. The E-100 chassis was also intended to be used in an artillery role, as a tank destroyer and as an anti aircraft platform as shown here. Developed in 1936 by Rheinmetall-Borsig, the first prototype Flak 40 was tested in late 1937. Its weight was nearly 12 tonnes which made the gun difficult to transport. Includes photo etched parts
