Is that from the Japanese animation series with all of the gorgeous alternative German gear?  Lovely piece of kit (and much more "realistic" than many interpretations).

Nah, MA.K has never been an Anime. It was originally an illustrated story series called "SF3D" that ran in a Japanese model magazine in the 80's, which was illustrated using FX photos of kitbash models made by the writer (graphic designer Koh Yokoyama). The kitbash designs were popular enough with readers that they were eventually made into kits in their own right, and it kinda spun off from there. The name changed from Sf3D to MA.K (short for "Maschinen Krieger: ZBV 600") IIRC when it it left the original magazine behind, because the magazine still owned the rights to the SF3D name.

Kind of an odd duck in that there isn't much actual story media for the IP: it's mostly just the hardware designs with a loose net of world-building fluff to tie them all together.

It's not actually alt-WWII, but rather a kind of far-future quasi-post apocalypic setting. Basically, it's a war between space colony factions over who gets to resettle an Earth that's only just recovering from massive ecological damage that made it uninhabitable for centuries. The WWII look is just a retro-future art style thing on the part of Yokoyama.

Maschinen Krieger - yep that's what I was thinking of.  I assumed it had some anime/manga behind it because well...Japan.     I absolutely love some of their stuff.  Very cool, please post more if you build em!
