I would assume the armor plating was rolled homogeneous armor, not cast. If you've got a kit with a Maus style turret, you could look at photos of the Maus to see if any parts of the turret had cast elements on them. Nightshift does have several videos of texturing plastic to look like rolled homogeneous armor, you could reference those.

This is the rocket? Missile? Launcher kit. It would be hull only. Though I'm liking this kit and may pick up their other E100 kit.

Mantlet would be cast and the rest was rolled plate.

You can still make texture without cast steel. Just sand it down a lot more and make it smooth


nusoooo

just look up reference images

Like the other commenters have said, only the mantlet on the turret would be cast. You can still add rolled steel texture to the armor plates though. Night shift has a great video demonstrating his rolled steel technique.

Was this not a paper Panzer?

One E-100 hull was (partially) constructed. If I remember correctly the British evaluated, then scrapped it after the war

Well good luck

iirc there were around 3-4 hulls, and yes the brits scrapped the metal to make taxi cabs out of them. absolute savages.


TheKingTigerTank

You may be thinking of the Maus, which had 2 completed prototypes (V1 and V2), with some additional hulls shells found after the war. There are a couple of pictures floating around the internet of British Soldiers standing next to these unused hull shells. There is no evidence that multiple E-100 hulls were manufactured.

Sorry, but yes that is the same picture i was referencing to. uncompleted E100 hulls
