Don't let her sit on the Shelf of Doom for too long! She deserves to be finished (soon)!  8)

Absolutely ... there's too much promise here! Love the idea of this being a very early Bundeswehr vehicle with NATO scheme approximated using left-over WW2 paints  :smiley: :smiley:

Thanks all :D

Due to circumstances it will be a month or two before I can start painting this build, but I'm just as eager as the rest of you to continue with the build tho.

Love the idea of this being a very early Bundeswehr vehicle

My "what-if" backstory for this tank is that in the months following the end of WW2 several border skirmishes flare up between the Allies and Soviets troops occupying Germany. Fearing that the Soviets might try to invade the Allied sectors in West Germany and take the whole country for themselves the Bundeswehr is formed in 1947 and the Panzer E-50 is rushed into production to equip the new force. The Soviet invasion doesn't materialize and in the 1950's the Panzer E-50s are updated to the A2 version.
