How’s it going dear modelers? I wish all you are enjoying modeling.
Today, I’m glad to show you my newest work, E-10.
The kit is so easy to make. It takes only 2 weeks to finish.
All clolor are painted by Humbrol. I really love this wonderful paint.
And, these are the colours that I used to paint E-10.
All coments are welcome! Thanks.

Hi Fitz. Wonderful “what-if” interpretation. I know it’s purely what-if, so the paint chipping is also subjective. Camo is cool. I’d highlight the tops of the tracks though. I’ve thought about picking this up myself. Any large problems?
Nice job. I concur with Tigerman, you may want to highlight the tracks with steel colored paint to make it look more alive.
VERY, VERY cool!!! What a weird, interesting tank! It reminds me of something a math student would design! All those weird angles and such…
I like the finish–you can do just about anything on these “paper panzers”; that’s half the fun of them! I agree about maybe some steel highlights on the tracks; other than that it’s a nice treat to see something so diferent up on the forum so quickly after it’s release.
I give it a 9–10 with the steel on the tracks! [:D]
[tup] Great! Those scratches look super fine especially with the subtle red oxide showing through. Yes, the tracks need some life. [:D]If not steel, use a 4B graphite pencil to apply a lifelike effect.
Nice build.
I’m not buying the chipping, though. You have paint worn off every edge and places that would not get significant wear, such as the bottom of the saukopf. But the shurtzen and the wheels, which would have been much more likely to get banged up, are pristine.
But, hey, that’s my opinion and it’s worth what you paid for it.
What do you use to thin the paint? what is the ratio? Paint:Thinner
The E-10 has a unique look to it for sure. To add to what’s already been said, I’d recommend drilling out the face of the gunner’s sight. You did that with the remote MG and it adds so much to the look vs. the solid face that Trumpeter provides with their part.
Very nice job. Mostly everything has been said. I would really work on those tracks, considering the worn finish of the rest of the model.
Thank you for all your kindess. I will add highlight on tracks![:)]

I used “Gaianotes Enamel Thinner” to airbrush, and “Winsor & Newton Artist’s white spirit” to use bursh. Gaia’s thinner is so strong so you have to be carefully.
Unfortunately, I really did not care about the ratio. Just what I feel it is good, that’s the ratio.
gotcha, it seems pretty hard to give ratios, every paint and color is different, you are right is saying “go with what feels right”.
I saw on the box that you can reverse the suspension to give the vehicle a low profile, that is very interesting.
Excellent. I’m still working on mine but have painted an E25 red. Congrats on your build.

Terry.
