[Razzie43]

On those 5 years they build so many tanks
that i only show my best tanks on the painting projects!

Nice lineup there!!! (and fantastic builds!)
I've started a similar lineup but with tank destroyers.

The Germans certainly weren't lazy coming up with new tanks during those 5-6 years - whilst fighting all over the place...

These are just the production series I've found. If you include prototypes that they built but not took to series production the list is almost silly.

Sd.Kfz.101 Panzer I Ausf. A/B light tank
Sd.Kfz.111 Panzer I ammunition carrier variant
Sd.Kfz.121 Panzer II Ausf. A to F light tank
Sd.Kfz.122 Panzer II "Flammingo" flamethrower tank
Sd.Kfz.123 Panzer II Ausf. L "Luchs" reconnaissance tank
Sd.Kfz.124 Wespe self-propelled 105 mm artillery
Sd.Kfz.131 Marder II self-propelled 75 mm antitank gun
Sd.Kfz.132 Marder II self-propelled 76.2 mm antitank gun
Sd.Kfz.135 captured Lorraine Tracteur Blindé tracked carrier
Sd.Kfz.135/1 self-propelled 150 mm howitzer
Sd.Kfz.138 Marder III self-propelled 75 mm antitank gun
Sd.Kfz.138/1 Grille self-propelled 150 mm infantry gun

Sd.Kfz.140 Flakpanzer 38t self-propelled 20 mm anti-aircraft gun on a Panzer 38t chassis
Sd.Kfz.140/1 armored reconnaissance vehicle based on the Panzer 38t
Sd.Kfz.141 Panzer III medium tank with 37 mm or 50 mm L/42 main gun
Sd.Kfz.141/1 Panzer III medium tank with 50 mm L/60 main gun
Sd.Kfz.141/2 Panzer III medium tank with 75 mm L/24 main gun
Sd.Kfz.142 StuG III assault gun with 75 mm L/24 main gun
Sd.Kfz.142/1 StuG III assault gun with 75 mm L/43 or L/48 main gun

Sd.Kfz.143 Panzer III based artillery observation post
Sd.Kfz.161 Panzer IV medium tank with 75 mm L/24 main gun
Sd.Kfz.161/1 Panzer IV medium tank with 75 mm L/43 main gun
Sd.Kfz.161/2 Panzer IV medium tank with 75 mm L/48 main gun
Sd.Kfz.161/3 Möbelwagen self-propelled 37 mm antiaircraft gun
Sd.Kfz.161/4 Wirbelwind self-propelled 20 mm x 4 antiaircraft gun
Sd.Kfz.162 Panzer IV based tank destroyer with 75 mm L/48 main gun Jagdpanzer IV
Sd.Kfz.162/1 Panzer IV based tank destroyer with 75 mm L/70 main gun Jagdpanzer IV
Sd.Kfz.164 Nashorn tank destroyer with 88 mm L/71 main gun
Sd.Kfz.165 Hummel self-propelled 150 mm artillery
Sd.Kfz.165/1 self-propelled 105 mm artillery
Sd.Kfz.166 Brummbär self-propelled 150 mm infantry gun
Sd.Kfz.167 StuG IV assault gun with 75 mm L/48 main gun
Sd.Kfz.171 Panther tank main battle tank
Sd.Kfz.172 Panther tank proposed assault gun variant
Sd.Kfz.173 Jagdpanther tank destroyer
Sd.Kfz.179 Bergepanther recovery variant
Sd.Kfz.181 Tiger I heavy tank
Sd.Kfz.182 Tiger II heavy tank
Sd.Kfz.184 Elefant tank destroyer
Sd.Kfz.185 Jagdtiger tank destroyer with 88 mm L/71 main gun
Sd.Kfz.186 Jagdtiger tank destroyer with 128 mm L/55 main gun

I think the list is complete but I made it one night a couple of weeks ago and I was tired so I leave no warranty on its completeness...

Before I pack up for good I'd like to build that list in 1/35! One should have a few crazy ideas in life
I've had more than a fair few and some of them I actually did!

Where did you find the E-100? It looks cool with the schmalturm. (which I assume it is?)

Ouch ouch and double ouch
I'm building in 1/35 my collection of tanks from WW2 and started with the British ( luckily not that big a selection ) but I have a few German 1/35 tanks in my stash to build but nothing in comparison to the list you have got Jens
I thought it was just the panzer 1 through to 4 and then the two tiger variants the the panther and the Maus obviously they seemed to plonk the well tested 75mm on most Chasis including half tracks and small tanks then there's the SP guns on the tried and tested P4 Chasis
If you include all the company's that Germany took over the list is as you say so endless
I really need to put my new list thanks to you Jens in order and RE look at the list of German AFV

Thanks for the wake up call

Hahahahaha

Hahahaha! No pressure!
Didn't mean to ruin your plan like that - just a reflection over how many different tanks, and variants, the German actually designed and built during those few years...
I doubt all variants are available as models so a lot of kit bashing are in order to make it happen - but I love crazy ideas so why not attempt something borderline silly

The Germans were fantastic engineers and if their deranged leader hadn't overridden just about every design things could've ended differently?

It's funny when you compare the Germans to the Russians who just churned out an almost endless stream of T-34's and only a few other models like the KV-1 & 2 and the IS range, or the Americans who did the same but with M4 Sherman. T-34 and Sherman went through enough revisions to smoke out all the issues whilst the Germans had already built a completely new platform before the paint had dried on the previous.
Add to that the ludicrous idea of a man with a funny moustache that size was the solution to success on the battlefield and demanded bigger and bigger tanks - without checking simple things like the possibility to drive said tank over bridges, or even a well mowed lawn!?! Imagine if they'd not gone against said funny man with moustache and built his wet dream: P1000 Ratte! Imagine that on a muddy field getting stuck the first 10 yards with no means of recovery - let alone getting it there in the first place???
I doubt we could build and get a tank as heavy as the Maus to work even today... Physics you know.. hehe.

Luckily this is partly how they lost the war and why we don't speak German today!

But they had fantastic engineers and there's no surprise why they were scooped up with Operation Paperclip.
WWII AFV engineering over all is remarkable and that's why we're sitting here all those years later building an almost endless stream of scale models
