E-100 was a real project, jagdpanzer E-100 wasn't planned and just a 'what if'. Mr Hilary Doyle, the expert on German tanks labelled this one as a fake. The build is great tho and I love the looks of it, but I just want to say that it can go beside your UFO ;) and that the internet isn't always right.
the E-100 Chassis has been made but if they would have done the turret (the planned turret) it would have been to heavy and the chassis would break down so they decidet to plan another project wich also was a failure because the war already enden when it was supposed to be reay to fight
since the E100 was a real project, converting it to a tankdestroyer wouldn't have been a big challenge, it would haven been the same concept they used to make cheaper versions, with compareable effectiveness, with every chassis.
Hi Andy, I enjoyed the build of the E100 Krokodil, I'm not really a fan of 'paper' tanks, but could see myself building either of these tanks, it was really good to see the two track pieces, I myself have a couple of WWII German helmets. Cheers mate, Les
I am impressed by how Quickly you are able to build such high quality models! I'm 68 and just started building models again. since I discovered your videos I bought some of the kits you built but I must say that it takes me much longer to build a kit and yours look a whole lot better!
Great video. I have built this kit also, and it went together without any problems. As form the tracks, I also did not care too much for the rubber tracks. trumpeter does offer individual link-n-length racks for this kit, as well as, the E-100. Bought a set and used those instead - much better detail.
I have just built the jagdpanther 2 what if tank that this took its place! It's a beautiful kit just way to put the metal tracks together fornthe jagdpanther 2 tank destroyer!
I think the Jagdpanzer E-100 looks a lot nicer without these side skirts over the chains! Is one of my absolute favorites among the tank destroyers! Very nice model.
I was very excited when I heard you say "We're going to do a little streaking" only to be grossly disappointed. I was expecting a different kind of streaking.
Another great video. I want to thank you. I always look forward each week to what your going to build' I have difficult time building due to a stroke. Your videos give me a sense of determination to continue building.
You would be surprised at how real you can make vinyl tracks look with the right amount of sag pinning and weathering. I have a few with vinyl and they look just as good as any plastic or white metal separate track piece kit.
Ebay and places. They cost hundreds to thousands of dollars, depending on the type, plus you gotta ship them from Estonia etc. Adam Mann did a video about tank tracks and shows his collection.
loved the ' show and tell' Andy . great work as always. I look forward to seeing your video builds every week , please don't stop and make workout videos 😅
Mr. Andy your a nut. That statement about making a workout video using the track sections was funny. But seriously, besides making great assembly vid's I like the fact that you give a bit of a history lesson as well. For instance I'm very familiar with the Jag (Hunter) version of the Panther, but I never heard of the Krokodil, one of the reasons I viewed this vid. Thanks for the lesson.
Came across your channel by chance looking up videos of T-90s, and I liked it so much that I purchased a Tamiya T-62 kit along with some tools I've seen you use in videos. Really looking forward to it!
that track is interesting, i wonder why the King Tiger had so many of its side panels removed, maybe they were they were too heavy to lift back on after replacing track links, so the crew could fed up with them and left then on the ground, it would interesting to know how thick the steel was, maybe 10mm or more.
i was wondering if the table would give way. also you have some buzzing on the video. but another great build. strange i have also been working on the Jagdpanzer E 100 3d model for printing. :)
Andy, after seeing the rough texture of the surface of real tracks in person, have you considered using something like Mr. Surfacer on future tracks? I'd be curious to see if that enhances the realism even further than you already have on all of your models.
If such design were true, it would make more sense to put the fighting compartment in the back and the engine in the front. Otherwise the unbalanced weight of the gun would likely break the suspension.
So basically WoTs version on the Jadgpanzer E100? i1.wp.com/ritastatusreport.live/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/ilya-lezhava-jagdpanzer-e-100-01.jpg?fit=1200%2C675&ssl=1 I honestly like the design shown in the video more, but it makes the least sense. Even a Jadgtiger style of this take would be more practical. If you are wondering, yes the one in game uses the 170mm gun like the one shown in the video.
you think they would leave this thing without support? Such an expensive tank would never be left alone, it would definitely have a rearguard of AT guns and panzergrenadiers with panzerschreks and/or panzerfaust
DatOneAsianKid if you managed to get flanked in a tank destroyer, you weren't doing your job right. Jagdpanther and Jadgtiger weren't designed for close combat. The idea was you camouflage, sit about 500 to 1000m away with a big fuck off gun and shoot anything that moves. The armour was only there for when you took fire after you place your first shot, revealing your location. If you're close enough that there's a risk of getting flanked you've already failed your job
Hi Andy. Love your videos. You are great with the free hand camo painting. Could you please list what air brush you are using, needle size and pressure settings to get that pinpoint accuracy without all the over-spray? Hope you get this because every time I learn from one of your videos, I have these questions about your brush technique and equipment.
Im seeing many folks assemble first then paint after on tanks... I get why this is, but, what about other models? What are the opinions regarding paint before, during or after? Is there a protocol most follow or do you just do what you do the way you do it...?
This is a really pretty cool tank. Great job Andy. I was wondering if you were ever going to do any other builds? How about a car or a plane or something different now and again? Thanks for sharing...
Another great video Andy, always enjoy your builds and have learnt a few tips and tricks from watching them which has improved my modelling skills so many thanks there! :-) One question, which airbrush do you use and how do you configure it (needle/nozzle size, paint mix, pressure etc) to get the neat and tight lines for painting tank camo like you do in this video?
Hey Andy, I haven't built any armor kits yet and was wondering which would be an easier kit to start; the Takom P1000 ratte or the Tamiya M4A3E8 "Easy Eight" Sherman. Thanks from me up in Alaska!
The size of that Tiger track link is incredible.
Honeslty.
And to think an e100 track would probably have been at least 50% bigger...
yeah i don't think he can lift that ;)
that is probably why the larger tanks such as the Maus, didnt actually go into production. Large, Difficult to maneuver, Expensive.
yes bu the piece he has was only half
I love the German tank prototypes of late World War II I'm glad that they're making models of them

The build is great tho and I love the looks of it, but I just want to say that it can go beside your UFO ;) and that the internet isn't always right.
Doyle isn't the 'expert' many claim he is. He was caught flat out making shit up about German night vision being useless.
Okay, didn't know that. But I still don't believe that jagdpanzer E-100 was a real concept.
the E-100 Chassis has been made but if they would have done the turret (the planned turret) it would have been to heavy and the chassis would break down so they decidet to plan another project wich also was a failure because the war already enden when it was supposed to be reay to fight
Did not know that there are already plastic models from WoT XD
since the E100 was a real project, converting it to a tankdestroyer wouldn't have been a big challenge, it would haven been the same concept they used to make cheaper versions, with compareable effectiveness, with every chassis.

Andy your an older mans role model. Thank you.
One more tank a never heard of and u nailed it
As always Andy, great build and video, with the bonus of seeing original tank parts. Thanks for sharing.
I have just built the jagdpanther 2 what if tank that this took its place! It's a beautiful kit just way to put the metal tracks together fornthe jagdpanther 2 tank destroyer!
I think the Jagdpanzer E-100 looks a lot nicer without these side skirts over the chains!

Very nice model.
Another great vid Andy, I love the tank tracks, more stuff like this please, history lesson and model making, perfect, cheers.
the details you put into it! amazing work
WOW Those tracks are BIG!!
Nice build Andy, thanks!
Great kit Andy, i used the metal barrel on mine. Also used Spade Ace tracks and Atak zimmerit set
I play World of Tanks , so that said , I really enjoy your tank building and knowledge.
man this is an amazing paper design
I was very excited when I heard you say "We're going to do a little streaking" only to be grossly disappointed. I was expecting a different kind of streaking.
Another nice build Andy
Another great video. I want to thank you. I always look forward each week to what your going to build' I have difficult time building due to a stroke. Your videos give me a sense of determination to continue building.
This is a well done video. I wasn t aware you cold built german tanks without too laud marching music.
Nice a real tank track
I think the Krokodil is another fictional E-series Jagdpanzer on the E-75 or also fictional E-90 chassis.
Panzermeister36 it is, yes.
btw you are making great videos!
Thanks!
this variant was planned and genuine blueprints were found
Yes, but what I said was that the Krokodil is something else, and that something else is fictional. This is not the Krokodil.
Can I get a source on those blueprints? I've seen one with the gun and mount, but the hull is not included.
This design maks much more sense than the one in WOT. There's more space for the crew and the armor is more effective.
You would be surprised at how real you can make vinyl tracks look with the right amount of sag pinning and weathering. I have a few with vinyl and they look just as good as any plastic or white metal separate track piece kit.
"Paper Panzers." Love it.
another great Modellreview!
greetings from germany
you should try paint and prime and sand before assembly . i also recommend "green stuff" putty and small magnets for part swapping. great video!
where do you get the real tank tracks from? I want one!
Ebay and places. They cost hundreds to thousands of dollars, depending on the type, plus you gotta ship them from Estonia etc. Adam Mann did a video about tank tracks and shows his collection.
There is a pair on links on ebay for 899. I think it was\
So yeah good luck.
RIP Wallet
yeah, i am trying to get a panzer's optical viewing glass for the commander compartment or the panzer division ring
loved the ' show and tell' Andy . great work as always. I look forward to seeing your video builds every week , please don't stop and make workout videos 😅
Sick One Dude!
I saw something about a trumpeter maus with interior coming out soon, great build by the way, think I prefer the jagdpanzer e100.
Love your vids Andy! I'd love to see you tackle the new mid-production Tiger with full interior from Rye Field.
lovely! well done !
Mr. Andy your a nut. That statement about making a workout video using the track sections was funny. But seriously, besides making great assembly vid's I like the fact that you give a bit of a history lesson as well. For instance I'm very familiar with the Jag (Hunter) version of the Panther, but I never heard of the Krokodil, one of the reasons I viewed this vid. Thanks for the lesson.
Great video Andy. would you be able to tell us how much those tracks weigh? Also plesse do a video on installing the metal tracks and painting them.
Jagdpanther: Who are you?
E100 Krokodil: Im you but I forgot to hit the gym.
Great job!
Looks futuristic.
Came across your channel by chance looking up videos of T-90s, and I liked it so much that I purchased a Tamiya T-62 kit along with some tools I've seen you use in videos. Really looking forward to it!
very nice build Andy the friuls will give you a pain it takes much longer as the whole kit but they look amazing
that track is interesting, i wonder why the King Tiger had so many of its side panels removed, maybe they were they were too heavy to lift back on after replacing track links, so the crew could fed up with them and left then on the ground, it would interesting to know how thick the steel was, maybe 10mm or more.
They were so ahead of their time.
Nice one Andy👍🇳🇿
i like the WoT version of Jagdpanzer E100
Cheers Andy
i was wondering if the table would give way. also you have some buzzing on the video. but another great build. strange i have also been working on the Jagdpanzer E 100 3d model for printing. :)
Andy, after seeing the rough texture of the surface of real tracks in person, have you considered using something like Mr. Surfacer on future tracks? I'd be curious to see if that enhances the realism even further than you already have on all of your models.
those tracks haven't been used in 70 years. they are coated in rust. in real life a tank's tracks would never get the opportunity to rust.
Another nice one :)
Nice paperweights.
great work Andy now I can't decide between this and the E100 great built tho 10/10 also that tiger track is huge where did you get it?
can you also build the e 50 would be realy nice to the e collection and that Tiger track is big;)
What is the part number for the RB barrel that will fit this kit?
Honestly I thought it looked much better without the side skirts, the exposed track looks awesome. Great video anyway though
Wow amazing
If such design were true, it would make more sense to put the fighting compartment in the back and the engine in the front. Otherwise the unbalanced weight of the gun would likely break the suspension.
Rule of cool
Or put the gun in the rear, and put counterweight i.e. armor in the front lol.
The design documents for this tank were made up and never actually existed and were debunked for the reasons you stated!
thats how world of tnks designed it xD
So basically WoTs version on the Jadgpanzer E100?
i1.wp.com/ritastatusreport.live/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/ilya-lezhava-jagdpanzer-e-100-01.jpg?fit=1200%2C675&ssl=1

As far as I know Trumpeter has individual Track links for the E-100 in their product line
Has this been built in reality too? I like the slanted armour design.
He said at the start its a paper tank, that means it was only on the drawing board, listen to the video dumbass
try to make the jpz e100 that is used in wot if possible
Tristan Erno it does because the engine would be in the front and the fighting compartment is in the back. it would have been a better design
Damian Moody I don't think that exists in a model
That tank isn't even real; it was made for World of Tanks.
Panzermeister36 so what
So that's why there are no kits of it
It would've been a beast.. Until a tank gets behind it :P
even then, only very few allied tanks would be able to penetrate it
you think they would leave this thing without support? Such an expensive tank would never be left alone, it would definitely have a rearguard of AT guns and panzergrenadiers with panzerschreks and/or panzerfaust

Or until it gets bombed by an P-51, Typhoon or P-47.
In 44-45 they didn´t stood much of a chance, considering soon they were discovered they would be hammered with airplane attacks.
Great paint job, but that would have been one strange looking tank.
awesome!!!!!!!!!
is it possibly to use water has thinner when doing the streaking effect?
Really like your videos was thinking that a challenger 2 would look good next your Abrams
Hi Andy. Love your videos. You are great with the free hand camo painting. Could you please list what air brush you are using, needle size and pressure settings to get that pinpoint accuracy without all the over-spray? Hope you get this because every time I learn from one of your videos, I have these questions about your brush technique and equipment.
Nice build! Where do you get the real track links from? haha
Nice video! +1 like
Looks like the Jagdpanther but bigger lol
Nice , have you built any of the Modelcollect range !
This almost made me want to play world of tanks. ALMOST
How has this not made it into World of Tanks yet lol
Im seeing many folks assemble first then paint after on tanks... I get why this is, but, what about other models? What are the opinions regarding paint before, during or after? Is there a protocol most follow or do you just do what you do the way you do it...?
Andy great Build yet again. Ignore the children they only know what games teach them.
This is a really pretty cool tank. Great job Andy. I was wondering if you were ever going to do any other builds? How about a car or a plane or something different now and again? Thanks for sharing...
FYI the JP E100 in world of tanks is completely different its a rear mounted superstructure instead of a forward mounted one
Who cares? Both are made up
Will rubber cement work on those tracks?
The repair crews must have loved replacing, repairing and generally handling the tracks on the Tiger and Panther....
Bruh, Imagine having to do it for the Ratte
What's with the different jagdpanzer E-100 designs
There's two types of man, the one who loves to watch and build pc, and the one who do this 😂
Peace ✌ 😂 ✌
Hey Andy
When ever I use markfit on decals the markfit dries and there is residues left on the model
Wish i could do this, i'd love a bunch of tank-models in my shelf behind me, too darn expensive tho :(
Another great video Andy, always enjoy your builds and have learnt a few tips and tricks from watching them which has improved my modelling skills so many thanks there! :-) One question, which airbrush do you use and how do you configure it (needle/nozzle size, paint mix, pressure etc) to get the neat and tight lines for painting tank camo like you do in this video?
Great build really wish you were based here in Scotland lol your store looks amazing. What colour do you use for your scratching effect?
I play World of Tanks Blitz and the E100 Jagdpanzer on that game have the superstructure on the rear of the vehicle!
we need that in WoT
No War Thunder and WoT
The E 100 used Belleville Washers for suspension, not springs.
Could you give a totorial on how to build the 1/35 scale waffentager auf E-100 from amusing hobby
Wasnt this having the turelle in the behind part?
Nice work, andy, Hey when are you going to do a Tiger Brand kit, looking forward to that ! Thanks
Another absorbing video, I always look forward to these. The vidoe quality is incredibly clear, how do you do that? What set up do you have?
I know Im late but can you build it purely stock?
This looks like a Stridsvagen combined with a E-100.
There are a reason half of the weld seem are on the backside, thats how they was put together IRL.
15:39 it looks great in black
Any recommendations for easy tank models for beginners?
MisterAxeMan one of Tamiya's Sherman kits, for example their M4 early production. it has some small parts, but it goes together well and is cheap.
Salamander is the correct name, Crocodile/Alligator is the name of the twin cannon version of this tank.
I like wargamings view on the model better. but this one looks dope af too
Hey Andy, I haven't built any armor kits yet and was wondering which would be an easier kit to start; the Takom P1000 ratte or the Tamiya M4A3E8 "Easy Eight" Sherman. Thanks from me up in Alaska!
Thanks!
Where’s all the tool and spare track links that seem to festoon all tracked armor vehicles? 😊
