Here's my E-100, I worked quite a lot on it during the holidays. I guess the pics speak for themselves:

Is the curved piece coming out of the hull top fitting just above the glasis edge supposed to be one of the bent barrel attachemnts for the MP-44? Center of pic #3 is what I am talking about..
Beautiful work.. Almost a shame to cover it up with paint.
Are you going to add an IR set ?

MLD, you're correct, that's indeed a 'Vorsatz P' as they called it, an Sturmgewehr 44 with a 45 degree curved barrel. About the IR, I don't know if I'll add that, but I probably will, certainly if I come across a Tamiya Panther G steelwheel (I thought there was an IR set in there).
Thanks!
Rick

Very nice.
The Tamiya Panther steelwheels actually comes with 3 sets. So if you know of someone who has one, even if they did build an IR Panther, they should have 2 sets left over.

Hey Weebl,
Looking nice so far. What are you using for reference? I'm also curious what method you have used to replicate the weld seams. They look nice and crisp, and will look excellent after she gets a coat of paint. Good luck with the rest of the build.

Reference? I kinda build what I like, although it's based on a Tiger II. The smaller weld seams were made with plastruct .3 mm rod softened with cellolose thinner and detailed with an x-acto, the larger welds between the turret armour plates were done with a pyrogravure and the welds on the turret roof are done with woodfiller.
