Thats great thanks for the help fellas, Mackem, do you have any idea how much the E100 will be m8?
Cheers,

Hi Alex,
Sorry, there are no prices at all on the hooben web site.
If it takes as long to produce as their T55 ( well over a year and still no sign ) I would start your scratch build mate.
Your big problem is going to be the tracks, what are your plans for them?
Cheers
John

The E100 was captured by the British and shipped back to Bovington for assessment, where it was built to running condition and field trailed with a Mause turret weather this was intended for this tank I don't know but it certainly makes the tank look top heavy, as for new drawings being found I haven't heard anything about this but then new information is being found all the time

that was the problem, the maus turret did fit but the balance was off, the allies did indeed overrun the E100 factory and took one hull before leaving it too the Russians, the factory that is.

the second picture is of the Tiger II assault gun, the E100 came back to England and was trailed latter it was scraped hear in England in the 1950's the Russians never got there hands on the E100 otherwise it would have been sitting along side the Maus in Kublinka
