Looks cool, i want to try one of these paper panzers one day.
Ive always had an itch to model the E-100 that was captured by the russians in Berlin, or the one KO'd near the factory.

Thanks

I hate to be rude, but what a waist of petroleum product! With all the gaps in REAL armor subjects, here comes another Panzer Wana-be.

Thanks for the info. I can lobby Trumpeter now to stop this madness.

Mark Paper Panzers sell well and so you would be wasting your time complaining, and yes I like them as they produce some interesting finished models without the risk of bickering over accuracy.

Although this looks cool, I'm going to stick with my original idea- buy the E-50, mount my Coelian turret on it, and use the E-50 Schmalturm for another project...

I`m awaiting the next instalments for the BP42 Armoured Train but WHAT A RIP-OFF - no roadbed included in the box !.Does Trumpeter think these floated on thin air or is it just a marketing ploy to sell more of the trackbed sets ?.
Seems like just another way to get us to part with our hard earned !!.

I also had some ideas in mind about using a "paper-panzer" and a factory.
These are interesting vehicles and there are different scenes, one can use them for.

Danny, I thought that they meant "lenght given sans the roadbed", not indicative of what is in the box?

thats correct, the length is excluding the roadbed, and in the kit details it states it ncludes the roadbed, the Kammandowagern says 5, the BR doesnt say how many it includes yet.

Concur 100%. They cater to a popular niche market.

If you don't like 'em, no-one's forcing you to buy 'em.

Hmmm,

The artists did his research and got it right 100%
Maybe Trumpeter got lazy and simply carried over the lower hull configuration from another kit?
