++What Tank is that?++

[supersonic]

Hello Chaps,

 

does anybody has an idea what tank we have here...?

 

Cheers

One of the projected/invented/silly E100 variants, I suspect.

Yes thats what i thought too, since i want to build one myself i was looking if there is a kit that matches, the closest what i found was Stug E-100 kit from Trumpeter but with a totally different turret.

So i wonder if there exists a kit of that exact version or a conversion set for e.g. the Trumpeter kit, any thoughts are highly appreciated

I can't find it in Hannants, but I strongly suspect Modelcollect.

It's not an E-100. They have vertical hull sides and four outer road wheels. The sloped hull sides on the model are closer to the E-75 although, again, that has four road wheels. It might be a conversion or scratch build, or some obscure resin kit.

 

The closest mainstream kit to the one in the photo that I know of is the Amusing Hobby Jagdpanther II

 

 

Modelcollect do some E-75s with a similar layout, although they'd be a fair bit smaller than the one in the photo, and are 1/72 rather than 1/35

 

 

 

You could check the World of Tanks Tankopedia. It's a good source for some of the what if stuff that sometimes get released as models

Thanks for the hint Graham, checked Modelcollect but nothing matches

@Andy yes that Amusing kit is probably the closest mainstream but the sloop hull lines makes the look unique so i try to research a bit more, might be a Resin conversion from one of the million little companies out there....good hint with Tankopedia
