E-100 Heavy Tank -Krupp Turret, 1/35 - Trumpeter 09543

The Trumpeter 09543 is a plastic model kit to be assembled at 1/35 depicting the German heavy tank project E-100 equipped with a Krupp turret. Once built, the replica measures 311.8 mm long and 127.7 mm wide.

The E-100 was part of the super-heavy armored vehicle projects studied in Germany during World War II. Development began in 1943. A partial prototype was under construction when the program was stopped; the vehicle was never completed.

This armored vehicle model offers more than 250 parts. It includes six sprues, an upper hull, a lower hull, a turret, and rubber tracks. A photo-etched fret is also included. The main hull and turret components are produced using multi-slide molds, a technique that allows certain shapes to be replicated with precision.

At a scale of 1/35, each dimension of the real vehicle is reduced by a factor of 35. This format is particularly suited for creating a highly detailed armored vehicle, for display on a base, or for inclusion in a diorama featuring German military vehicles from the late stages of World War II.

Assembly requires the usual supplies for static model making: glue suitable for plastic, cutting and deburring tools, fine abrasive paper, primer, paints, and finishing products. Careful preparation of the gluing surfaces, followed by progressive painting and controlled weathering, will help bring out the imposing volumes of this heavy tank and the details of its running gear.
