Anyone have this tank?
Looking for this kit, It's a E-79 from the PS2 game "Panzer Front". It is a 1/35 kit made by WAVE in Japan in 01. If I can get this kit I can possibly make a 1/16 kit out of it. But I need the 1/35 kit. Any help?<o></o>
Thanks,Baron

Its a fictitious tank and probably will be a challenge to make the gun barrel elevation and recoil motors fit within that slimline turret. In real life, that turret would similarly be cramped to have to fit the gunner, loader and tank commander in the same space as the gun breech, not to mention having ammo stored in ready lockers within the turret.

I am just about ready to get started on my e50-e75 project using a hl king tiger. My advise is to start with a base tank, then you have a starting point with the tracks and running gear(2 things I do not want to fab up). The turret is going to be tough, you need room for the recoil and berrel elevation "stuff". The asiatam stuff that phil sells for the tiger might work....the running gear looks like a t34 or t55to a point....that might get you started but it is going to be tight getting every thing in there.
