Over the past years we have been pampered with an increasing number of rather hi-end injection molded plastic kits. Much of these models include unique subjects that many of us would never have dreamed of seeing ten years ago. One string of distinctive themes that has been appearing in plastic is Paper Panzers. It is great to have these subjects available to us in plastic although there sometimes are drawbacks. It seems apparent that the research and level of detail put into some topics can be lacking depending on the topic. This is understandable because some of these subjects never got past the drawing proposal stages (hence the name paper panzers). This makes their history very limited. I have built or worked with at least four kits offered by Trumpeter now and most of them have been rather good. When I started working with their E-75 I immediately noticed a few areas that needed extra detailing. The E-75 Paper Panzer was to be a possible predecessor to the German Tiger II tank.
