Hello! I want to show my latest model. This is a hypothetical tank hunter E-25, one of famous E-project series. Model from Trumpeter
What was made-added
1) I replaced the initial gun barrel with shorter barrel with muzzle brake, it was taken from the rest of parts from Dragon "StuH 10,5 42 wzimmerit" kit
2) Night viewing device was mounted on MG turret, was taken from Dragon "E-100 E-100 "Nachtjäger"" kit. Also made wires
3) Armor shields and their mountings were made from plastic and tin
4) I made fasteners for adittional camo around the perimeter of body
5) Made an imitation of cast numbers on the top of gun mantlet
6) Metal aerial from RB Model was added
Alos made other few things
Model painted with Tamiya acryl paint, weathering - oil artist paints Pebeo XL Stuido(washes, phading, filters) and MIG pigments, tracks were painted with tamiya acrylic and Humbrol metallizer, weathered with MIG pigments and oil paint washes( here you can read about their painting http://armor35.ru/forum/showthread.php?t=1109 , but only in russian). Foundation was made from filling paste for tile, grass - long was made from flax and small grass was made from sawdust, painted with watercolour, remains of trees - little branches, burnt-out places - MIG pigment and burnt plastic, final weathering was made wit oil paints.
I would like to thank my collegues from panzer35.ru forum, especially Vadim Lavrof, Andrew K. aka mpm1979 and Nicolay aka TNB for giving me very important and valuable advice. Full building review you can see here: http://www.panzer35.ru/forum/6-424-1
I'm very sorry i still don't know some tecnhical and modeling terms, that;s why something in descripton can sound wrongly. If you'll find such mistakes, please inform me about right meanings.
I hope you'll like this work
Criticism is welcomed
Thanks for watching

Hi Dmitry

very nice work, I see you installed a Kugelblende instead the driver vision port.
So, does the driver still sits in that part of the tank?

Greetings

Hi, Nils!
thanks for your reply
Yes, I replaced the driver's port with Kugelblende. Firstly I wanted to install a MG into it, but then i realized that there won't be any view for driver so I removed the MG and leaved kugelblende as a driver's port.
