A conversion accessory, 1:35 Gas turbine GT 101 for the E-50 and E-75 from Yamamoto Model Parts: a powerplant for models of the German development projects of the E series.
Responsibility details are not available.
It is not a kit of a vehicle but an accessory with which a powerplant is added to a model. The set is intended for models of the German development types E-50 and E-75 and offers an alternative to the usual piston engine: the gas turbine GT 101, which was studied in Germany toward the end of the Second World War as a possible power source for heavy tracked vehicles. It remained at the development stage, so it is a subject from the field of so-called projects which never reached service.
The accessory makes sense above all on a model with an open engine compartment, as the turbine is then visible and that is at the same time the main reason to reach for the set. The E series was a body of design proposals which were to unify the production of heavy vehicles; the E-50 and E-75 were the medium and heavy types from it, but production never came about. For a modeler it is therefore a matter of so-called what-if builds, which have a scene of their own among builders of armored equipment and give freedom in painting and markings.
Separate the parts with a sharp scalpel, sand the traces of the gates down with fine abrasive paper and check before painting whether the engine compartment of the model will take the turbine, as sometimes the bulkheads have to be altered. With resin parts, wash the parts in lukewarm soapy water and glue them with super glue. Paint the engine compartment before you close it: a base color, metallic shades on the piping and the casing, a dark wash into the recesses and fine oil stains on the floor. You can draw the lines and hoses out of wire.
It is an accessory for a kit, not a model of a vehicle. It is supplied unpainted, and paints and glue are not included in the package.
