BerndM Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Hello Britmodellers, here is the newest roll out from my "production line", which is in the "finish something" modus, currently. Normally i don t do paper projects but this was fun. This build was intended as a birthday present for a good friend, he is playing the World of Tanks game and added a E 25 for his tank garage. The kit itself is a really good one, the modeller can choose between, rubber band style tracks or plastic single links, different hull tops, mudguards from plastic or PE parts and there are also a lot of tools for the so called Entwicklungsfahrzeug, or development vehicle. At the end of WWII, there were two hulls for production at Allkett in Berlin, so my build is just fantasy. There are many parts shared with the Panther and Tiger Ausf.B tanks, like the suspension, road wheels, tracks and the gun from the Panther and Jagdpanzer IV, of the later production.I added also towing cables, mountings for them ( came from a retired StuG III ) and the tube, which includes the cleaning rods for the main gun ( from an also retired Panther ) After nearly twenty years, the soft plastic tracks, simply dissolve. The build was straight forward, no problems at all. To speed up “production” my girlfriend cut out and cleaned all the single tracks. Wasn t the last modelling project for her. The camo scheme was sprayed free hand on, using my Badger 150 airbrush, weathering was done with acrylics.Ot was the first 1/35 tank in years for me, it was fun, so there will be more stuff in this scale, land on my bench, incl. projects like this one. Hope you like it. Best RegardsBernd 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BerndM Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 Waheyyyy! It was worth the wait. Nice one! Thank you very much for this compliment, it has took a while to build it but it was one of my few projects, which went to the finish without some time in my "project box" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAG058 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Great build! A very mean looking machine, with those angles and the thickness of the armour, it looks a real beast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BerndM Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 Great build! A very mean looking machine, with those angles and the thickness of the armour, it looks a real beast.

PlaStix Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Hi Bernd. That's a great looking tank you've put together there. It certainly would have been impressive on the battlefield if had gone into production. Beautifully put together, detailed and weathered! Superb! Well done. :goodjob: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BerndM Posted August 10, 2015 Author Share Posted August 10, 2015 Hi Bernd. That's a great looking tank you've put together there. It certainly would have been impressive on the battlefield if had gone into production. Beautifully put together, detailed and weathered! Superb! Well done. :goodjob: Thank you very much for the kind words As said, it was the first project tank, the first 1/35 kit in a decade and also the first one with added bits from the spare box. This screams for more. Really like this Bernd, not usually my cup of tea but this is a very menacing looking thing quite the beast, I like the finishing on it great paint job. Thank you Steve, only the idea of a birthday present brought this on my bench but it was fun, it looks a bit like the bigger brother of the Hetzer tank hunter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
