I don't know how fast this blog is going to go, but since an interesting part of the work is already done I thought I'd share this build. I decided to create an E-25 Kügelblitz kitbashing the Trumpeter E-25 and the older Dragon kit of the Kügelblitz.

Cutting the E-25 hull:
E-25_cut1

Another view:
E-25_cut2

And this is where it's going:
E-25_build_step2_1

E-25_build_step2_2

E-25_build_step2_3

Cheers,

John

This looks like an interesting build.

What did you use to cut the hull?

Hey Gary, I have both the Tamiya and Trumpeter scribblers. I wouldn't know what to do without them for both my WhatIf-builds.

Cheers,

John

John-
this is a great "What- If"! Really seems plausible and the turret fits reasonably well with your modifications.

You should post it over in the "What-If" Campaign- many people will appreciate it over there.

Hi folks,

Thanks for the kind words. This build will have to wait until my E-100 is finished. And yes I will post these in the What if campaign as soon as they have progressed a bit further.


Cheers,

John
