Response to Looking for 1/35 E-100 aftermarket tracks and barrel for Trump kit

http://www.hlj.com/product/AIF35-005 They are for the Dragon kit but I am pretty sure they would work on the Trumpeter kit. You would be better off buying the Dragon kit though. The Trumpeter kit is completely wrong. The only thing that is near correct is the chassis. It is a King Tiger chassis and the E-100 was designed on a lengthened King Tiger chassis. The Trumpeter turret is that of a Henschel turret King Tiger and the barrel is too long, effectively turning it into a Tiger IIC (The Henschel Turret King Tiger was a Tiger IIB). I have built Dragon's model E-100 and I can say it is a very good model. However, I would recommend buying the tracks from Hobby Link Japan. Dragon's Magic Tracks are a pain to assemble.
