About this set
Jagdpanzer E-100 translates Germany’s super-heavy chassis into a casemate tank destroyer in 1:28 scale with 1,836 compatible bricks. The low, angular fighting compartment and enormous 17 cm gun channel dominate the build, while running gear and side armour plates reward staged assembly. Eco-friendly ABS delivers the tight tolerances needed for a stable display pose. For collectors fascinated by paper panzers that almost reached the prototype stage, this set offers a rare silhouette beside Tiger derivatives—heavy, deliberate, and unmistakably late-war German in every panel line and tool stowage detail.
Historical background
Planned to mount a 17 cm StuK on the E-100 hull, the Jagdpanzer E-100 promised firepower rivalling railway guns while retaining limited mobility. By 1945 only a hull prototype existed before British forces captured development sites. The design illustrated Germany’s belief that thicker casemate armour could offset turret weight on super-heavy chassis—a doctrine that collapsed under Allied air superiority and fuel shortages. Brick reconstructions preserve engineering debates that never reached combat, letting builders compare what might have faced IS-2 and Pershing columns in a hypothetical 1946.
