WW2 German Panzerkampfwagen E-100

This depicts a “what if” scenario had the E-100 reached production. It’s depicted in the spring of ‘46, its haphazard whitewashed winter camo fading away. One hull was completed by the time the allies took control of Germany. Plans had it with a crew of six and weighing in at 123 tons and standing just over 11 feet tall. The kit is produced by Amusing Hobby in 1/35 scale and was done with acrylics, VMS and AK pigments along with oils. The wire for the hull camouflage sets were hyper aged for a rust finish.

Tamiya 1/35 scale model done in acrylics, oils and pigments.
