Trumpeter 00385 German Entwicklungsfahrzeug E 10 Hetzer (1/35)

Trumpeter 00385 German Entwicklungsfahrzeug E 10 Hetzer (1/35) is a high-quality plastic model kit representing a prototype German armored vehicle from the final period of World War II. Made in the popular modeler's scale of 1/35, the kit allows you to build a precise miniature of this innovative armored vehicle, which was one of the elements of the German “Entwicklung” program, focused on the unification and simplification of combat vehicle construction.

The E 10 prototype was intended to be a light tank destroyer that could enter mass production and serve the German army in the last years of the war. It was characterized by a low silhouette, compact and thoughtful design, as well as widely used armor plates sloped at sharp angles. Although the E 10 never entered active service and did not take part in fighting, it represents the advanced approach of German engineering from 1944–1945. Today, the E 10 fascinates both military historians and military enthusiasts alike. The model is recommended for historical dioramas depicting alternative “what-if” scenarios at the end of World War II and for modelers interested in experimental vehicles.

The Trumpeter E 10 set is a detailed plastic model kit, featuring numerous surface details, faithfully reproduced armor plate structures, realistic suspension, and specially designed segment tracks. The manufacturer does not include glue or paints in the kit, so modelers are free to choose their own assembly and painting techniques, allowing for unique finishing of the model. The kit does not contain extras such as a metal barrel or photo-etched parts, which makes it an excellent base to be upgraded with aftermarket accessories.
