I rather like Queeg's E82 - which inspired me to drag out some of my forays into '46 German whiffery and here's one I did a few years ago.

I call it the E79, based on E75 running gear, with a scratch hull using Panther upper parts and a much modified Airfix Leopard turret, this is my 1/72 take on a standardised design for a higher speed medium tank.

Your skills are completely off the charts!

Tell me more about this......
I am presently working on my own E-79.

Not much else to say than what you see or has already been written here. I felt like making some fictitious German armour and did so using an E75 and a Leopard tank as a basis for conversion.
I look forward to seeing your E79.

you say E-75......
do you mean the Pegasus E-25?

I may want one just to say I have one :)

You are 100 % correct - that one slipped past me. It is based on an E25 not an E75 (closer to a King Tiger !) Thanks for that. :)
and yes - I am selling castings on ebay. I shall pop one up in the couple of days and we'll see how we go. You can always drop in at www.uncleles.net (http://www.uncleles.net) and use the contact form there to make an enquiry or place an order (the email extension here at BTS is not ideal for conducting business)
:D

I actually thought it was an E-10 with the vertical hull sides and rack guards almost flush with the hull top.

This is where I am right now with my 1/72 E-79

Let me know what you think

yes, his does look more like a "beefed up" E-10.
Esp since he used the running gear from the Pegasus E-25.

A little more disciplined than my afternoon special ! I like where it's going ( and where it's been ! )
-
That looks great

My turret is almost ready to be molded.

Send me a note via the contact form at www.uncleles.net (http://www.uncleles.net) and I'll respond with a quote ! As for the price on the ebay stuff... I would have preferred more but that's my fault.
:)

Fraid I must take a pass Les. I have one CA-31, and about 500 other unbuilt kits, and I'm 65 years old. I'd only end up selling them at some swap meet for pennies on the dollar. Thanks anyway.
