Maus (15mm)

[Fitz]

A bunch of Zvezda stuff arrived for me from PSC today, and among them is this model of the ludicrously huge Maus super-heavy tank. The original vehicle was never painted in this three-colour splinter scheme as far as I'm aware, but then it also never made it into production, so I don't feel bound by historical precedent when it comes to paint schemes.

I've read rumours of one of them getting into combat against the Soviets in Germany in 1945, but I don't know how much credence to put in such stories. The Soviets certainly did capture one; I think it's now at Kubinka.

I have very little gaming use for the Maus, since it only existed at the opposite end of World War II that I'm mainly interested in, but I have a nostalgic affection for it from back when I first started wargaming as a kid. It was the first tank I ever tried (unsuccessfully) to scratch-build.

Very nice job on that camo!

Once again a marvellous job which is hard to credit as 15mm scale.

Excellent.

Now if only they did it in 28mm ^___^.

Mine is still a work in progress...   next up a varnish, oil-lining, etc..

Sorry, the intention of my statement was if they [Zvezda] did it in 28mm [in plastic].

Warlord occasionally have a resin one, though (I think it was) Wyrmalla did not heap praise upon it
