GT101 Gas Turbine for E-50 & E-75 Trumpeter 1:35 Yamamoto Model Parts YMP3514
A high-quality detailing set designed for models of the Entwicklungsserie E-50 and E-75 tanks produced by Trumpeter in 1:35 scale. The product represents the concept of the GT101 gas turbine drive, which was considered a modern alternative to internal combustion engines in German armored projects at the end of World War II.
The set allows for a significant increase in the realism of the model by replacing standard hull components with detailed substitutes. The set includes:
- Engine plate with reproduced construction details of the turbine.
- Rear hull plate.
- Complete exhaust system.
- Precision photo-etched mesh for the exhaust outlet, providing an authentic appearance of the details.
Historical Background:
The GT101 gas turbine was a pioneering project of a turbine engine, based on solutions from the BMW 003 jet engine. German engineers planned its installation in heavy armored vehicles such as the Panther or the E series, aiming to achieve enormous power with a relatively low weight of the drive. Although the project never went beyond the testing and prototype phase, it represents a fascinating example of advanced technical thought of that period, perfectly fitting into the model-making trend of "Panzerwaffe '46".
