E-5 “Rutscher” 1:25 Orel (349)

T-62 Soviet Medium Tank 1962 – 1:25 Card Model Kit | Orel 228 Scale - 1:25 Model Sheets - A4 Assembly Instruction Language - English, Polish, Russian, German Product Description Build an unusual piece of late-WWII German armoured vehicle history with the E-5 “Rutscher” 1:25 scale card model kit from Orel (No. 349). The E-5 Rutscher was a German light tank destroyer concept developed during the final stages of the Second World War. It was associated with Germany's efforts to develop small, mobile and economical armoured fighting vehicles at a time when resources and manufacturing capacity were increasingly limited. The wider German Entwicklung (“E”) series programme aimed to rationalise and standardise future armoured vehicle production by reducing the number of different components and vehicle types in service. The proposed E-5 represented the lightest end of this concept, with an intended weight of approximately 5 tonnes. Published by Orel, this detailed paper model recreates the distinctive compact E-5 “Rutscher” design in 1:25 scale. The kit is printed across 10 A4 sheets with excellent print quality and carefully designed parts. Despite its interesting shape and detailed appearance, the model has an accessible level of complexity, making it suitable for beginners as well as experienced card model builders. It is an excellent addition to a collection of German WWII tanks, tank destroyers and experimental military vehicles.
