hi

sure but were should i get a smaler sproket and a smaler leading weel ;-). I think using existing parts from a kingtiger and panther is just how the original would had been used, its kind of the E idea i think.

E-25 kits are around? in 1:16? were? :-)

Well, Billpe didn't specify that. :) The E-25 kits available are 1:35 I think, definitely not 1:16.

As for whether they would've used panther / KT idlers and sprockets - maybe. However, casting smaller ones really isn't that much extra work, and all the media I find of E-25 has a very small idler, though one could argue the sprocket is Panther sized, give or take.

Hi

:). Keep in mind that the roadweels are 1000mm on the most kit.
That will made them look smaler.
I m not sure if thay are realy smaler. Never did medute ments bevause it was for me clear at the beginning wich sproket i will use. Creating a new sproket is one of the hardest jops you can do at tank modeling. A lot of testing to find the right tooth ring.
but for the leading well its much easyer, i will think sbout that.

Hi Christian, will you be doing a 3d printed mg/cannon turret for the roof of the E25?

What road wheels and sprockets did you use for this?
I assume you are using Panther tracks.

Cheers

hi

yes, the planing is going on for this turret :-)

at the moment I m using King Tiger roadweels with Panther Track and Panther Sproket and Kingtiger Leading weel.

I thing a KT Transporter Track would be usable too for this kit.
