Trumpeter E10 Completed
Posted by Bronto on Tuesday, April 20, 2010 7:46 PM

Here is the E-10 by Trumpeter 1/35.  Guess I can't dig Trumpeter for the accuracy on this one, since it never went past the drawing boards....... The figure is from Tamiya.

Very nice work, especially the hull--dirty or rusty, it looks battle-hardened!

In progress: Hasegawa P-51D/K (being built as a D), Tamiya Morris Mini Cooper 1275S, Testors Kaman H-43B Huskie (held up by lack of parts)

To be resumed sooner or later: Academy M151A2 with Eduard photo-etch

These are cool little panzers. I can't believe I haven't gotten one. I like the dirt and grime on her. The figure is a great addition. Well done.

Very Nice

It would be great to see this paper panzer in 1:72 injected plastic!

Thank you all for the comments!  This subject was nice relaxation from the more research-involved-correcting-conversion builds that I have been doing lately.   I'm not a Trumpeter fan, but the kit went together without any problems.  The only thing that would have improved it is if at least a partial interior was given so something could be seen through the hatches when they are opened.

Nicely done Bronto.  The camo & the figure look great.

Bronto nice tank, great weathering. Two things

1. The face on the figure mostley all over one colour but HUGE shadows under the guys eyes looks like he hasnt slept in a week or more. Just two big vs the amount of contrast in your two shades, might be just the camera lighting. Also doesnt look th emost comfy place for his butt.

2. Why buy a kit from a company you dont like and then complain that they didnt give you anything to complain about?

Thanks for the words on the figure.  I'm still trying to find a way that I can blend the colors together that looks less harsh. 

I didn't say I didn't like Trumpeter, I said I am not a big fan of a lot of their kits.  Trumpeter makes some decent kits (KV series, LAV series), but most of their other kits  lack in basic shape / research issues.
