Panzerkampfwagon E-100 History:
The Panzerkampfwagen E-100 (Gerät 383) (TG-01) was a German super-heavy tank design developed towards the end of World War II. The largest of the Entwicklungseries of tank designs intended to improve German armored vehicle production through standardization on cheaper, simpler to build vehicles. By the end of the war, the chassis of the prototype E-100 had been partially completed; it was shipped to the United Kingdom for trials, but was later scrapped.
The basic design was ordered by the Waffenamt as a parallel development to the Porsche Maus in June 1943. It was the heaviest of the Entwicklung (E) series of vehicles, meant to standardize as many components as possible, in the 100 ton weight class; other designs were the E-10, E-25, E-50, E-75.
In July 1944 Hitler ordered the development of super heavy tanks to stop. Work on the E-100 continued at a very low priority, with only three Adler employees available to assemble the prototype.
The first prototype was never fully completed and was found by the 751st Field Artillery Battalion of the American forces in April 1945. The partially completed vehicle was taken by the British Army for evaluation and then scrapped in the 1950s.

10/10 Cobi Set. I’m a be Honest, this was the first of two Cobi Tank Set I got but I absolutely enjoyed the build of this thing and it was a whole lot of fun. It is very big and certain a center piece set with some fun playability. I now have it next to my second Cobi Tank Set which is the M26 with the 3 inch M5 Gun and the E100 just Dwarfs its. I definitely recommend getting this set if your into German Tanks.

An enjoyable build and great finished product. I like the more detailed 1:28 scale tank line. From a historical perspective, I knew about the experimental Maus tank, but didn’t know about the E-100 platform design. Yet another great product from Warbricks and Cobi.

The set was really good quality. Expect for one issue, two of the track wells won’t go in the technic peace’s. I tried for hours to get them on. I think the technic is too thick or the track wells are too small. I can’t get them off ether. Im not shore if it’s on all or just mine. Otherwise it perfect and you can even really tell that the track well is half on unless you really look. If anyone can help me with this problem that would be great.

Clayton,
Sorry you are having issues with the set. We have not built it ourselves yet so we cannot really help at the moment. I did reach out to the great COBI Reddit community here and asked them. You can also try posting some pictures at tribe.warbricks.com and maybe we can get your squared away! Regards,
Will
