1/144 E-75 Entwicklung Series Panzer - CGD

1:144 CGD Wehrmacht '46 German E 75 standard tank with 105mm Kw. K. L/68 (Krupp)

75 standard tank - In 1945, the German war machine initiated a development program (Entwicklung, or E) aimed at categorizing the development of AFVs in 5, 10, 25, 50, 75 and 100 ton weight brackets. The E 75 was designed to be between 75 to 100 ton and as a standard tank replacing the King Tiger and Jagdtiger. The tank was almost identical to the King Tiger in size but would be easier, cheaper and quicker to produce than the previous designs.

The E 75 shared a lot of components with the E 50 and has the same hull design and dimension. The E 50 has more space inside through using thinner rolled armour plate and hence lighter weight.

To handle the additional weight, the E 75 has an additional suspension unit with 2 more road wheels on each side. The E 75 used E 50's combat track as transport track and another wider track as combat track.

105mm Kw. K. L/68 - was initially proposed by Krupp for increasing the armourment of existing Panzers and Jagdpanzers. It was to be mount on "Tiger B" .

1/144 British Sherman Crab II - CGD

1/144 British Sherman Crab II - CGD

This tank was a member of "Hobart's Funnies" which took part in the Normandy landing in 1944. The Sherman Crab was used for clearing mine fields with its rotating flail. The flail rotated in a direction pushing and detonate the mines out to the front of the tank rather than down under the tank for obvious reason.

The Crab II was an improved version with cutters to tear up barbed wire; chalk dispensing bin on both sides to mark path cleared of mines; and a pair of lit masks to help coordination between several Crab IIs working together.

Kampfgruppe144 Rammtiger - By Dameya

Kampfgruppe144 Rammtiger - By Dameya

Dameya has done a great job on taking the Kampfgruppe144 Rammtiger and carrying it the extra mile.

On the above photographs Dameya has taken the Rammtiger Shell option and mounted it on the WTM 05 Tiger(P) model. First the models were stripped back and prepared, in this instance the opportunity was taken to sand down some of the shell surface and prime it with 'Mr Surfacer' to provide a good foundation to the subsequent paint scheme.

I hope you agree that the end result is a very nice looking kit!?

More gallery photos are on the Dameya Blog

1/144 Junkers D.I WWI fighter - By Kampfflieger

Although some what ungainly and withan all metal full cantilevered wing, it was actually many years ahead of its time from in its aeronautical construction. Destined to become a naval fighter the end of the war cut short its service career. Needless to say this aircraft is the forerunner of so many interwar junkers seaplanes and transport aircraft culminating in the Ju-52/3m
