Trumpeter do a 1:35 model of the E-25. It should be an excellent reference for a scratch build.
Here's a link to a review,

Re: info / drawings >? E-25 paper panzer
Hi Iain,
Yes I'm afraid they are all photoshopped lots of these 46/47 what ifs on the german forums check out http://www.nexusboard.net/sitemap/6365/heer-47-f54319/ click on theE25 and E10 thread and your 1st and 2nd pictures show up.
As for scale drawings the only ones are like the one Brel posted taken from Panzer tracts 20-1 paper panzers by Jentz and Doyle , who are experts at the accuracy of their subjects they recently unearthed the plans for the E100 production turret now produced by cammett in 1/35 http://www.armorama.com/modules.php?op= ... e=&order=0
Info on the E25-- drawings show a 7.5cm Pak L/70 gun mounted on the glacis plate but selection of a weapon for series production had not been determined in Jan 1945
Armour protection consisted of the 50mm thick glassis plate sloped at 50 degrees from the vertical, 50mm lower hull at 55 degrees, 30mm upper hull side at 52 degrees, 30mm lower hull sides at 0 degrees, 30mm upper hull rear at 40 degrees, 30mm lower hull rear at 50 degrees and 20mm roof and belly.
Hull length was 5.66metres, width 3.41 metres, height 2.03 metres and ground clearance 0.51 metres.
Only a few prototypes where ordered as the design had not proceeded far enough to consider mass production.
According to postwar interrogations 3 E-25 hulls were reported to be at Alkett in Berlin-spandau, but they were no longer there when Western Allies went to investigate.
So perhaps the russians have got them somewhere
hope this helps abit
Cheers Ian
