This is a 1/64 (scalable to other scales) scale model of the Entwicklung E-79 German (fake) Tank, is one of three fake German tanks made for the 1999 Playstation 1/Dreamcast game "Panzer Front". The motivation for the creation of these vehicles is still a mystery, as the game was supposed to be a "simulator". In the game the tank is called "Panzerkampfwagen VK6600(h) E-79", which in itself does not make sense; E-79 would imply it would weigh over 79 tons, but VK6600 would imply it to be in the 66 ton class. Even the nomenclature "VK6600" is wrong, VK numbers do not end in 0, they end in 1, 2, 3, and so on, for variations of that tank. For example, VK45.01, VK45.02, and VK45.03. The names "Schwarzwolf" (Black Wolf) and "Zekke" were not from the game Panzer Front, but have since popped up on the internet, as has the name "Panther III". On many dubious websites and forum posts made by uninformed people, the E-79 is passed off as a real vehicle from the end of World War II, often with a convincing story about its supposed developement. However even those who do not have a great interest in the history of vehicles they model or play now recognize the E-79 as fake, and know its real story. The E-79 is probably one of the oldest and most known fake tanks. Fake Tank When you encounter terms like "fake tank," especially in the context of German World War II designs, it often refers to vehicles that: Never existed in reality: They were either entirely fictional or remained only as very preliminary concepts that never progressed to prototypes. Originate from fictional sources: This can include video games, speculative fiction, or even misinterpretations of historical documents. In the case of the "ENTWICKLUNG E-79 GERMAN (FAKE) TANK": This tank is known to have originated from the 1999 Playstation 1/Dreamcast game "Panzer Front." It's recognized by military history enthusiasts as a fictional vehicle, despite attempts by some to pass it off as a real late-war German design. The naming conventions used for this "tank" within the game itself are historically inaccurate, further indicating its fictional nature. Here's a breakdown of what that means: - Entwicklung (E-Series): The "Entwicklung" series was a real late-war German attempt to standardize tank designs.1 However, many proposed E-series vehicles remained only on paper.   "Fake" in this context: It signifies that the E-79 was not a real-world project of the German military. It's a creation of a video game. Therefore, a "fake tank" like the E-79 is a vehicle that exists in fictional media, but not in historical records.
