At.St_Walker, model looks nice. Please continue your work. I think you will have problems with textures to this beast. Maus A was first painted darkgrey Panzer Grau (RAL 7027), later standart Wehrmacht Olive. Maus B had tree colours paint pattern.[/QUOTE]<span id='postcolor'>
Tnx all



This is B textured version . We add S-Mine mortar

Maus specs called for 1.5Cm, not what it had in field.

Soviet documents say Maus engaged 134th Tank Rgt of 8th Guards East of Kummersdorf, this has never been confirmed although there is a group of 6 photos that show a battle damaged Maus with Soviet Soldiers around it, the turret reportedly was used in the Kubinki reconstruction,
and,
for the Record, Meppen was in the Free French zone, no American forces ever saw Meppen until 1947.

Interesting, are there any link related to this?

Only source I have is a friend in the armor museum at Aberdeen, the documents he showed me <in &#39;88> were copies of documents dated from 1946, the soviet description of the battle was 2 pages out of 30 most of the document pertained not to combat but examining German Armor plate, the battle was one of 4 references <the other 3 involving a TigerII, a Hetzer,a an unidentified "enemy armored unit" which apparently stood up to 3 IsII&#39;s long enough for them to exhaust their ammo, then it left the field>

pzvg, now I see we have different sources of informations about German super heavy tanks. I found Mauses tanks specifications in three published texts, all in Polish. One is Maus` monography, second is about German II WW tanks at all, and one is article in magazine. In all of those sources Mauses had to have 12,8 cm and 7,5 cm coaxed. E100 was designed with modified, similar turret with 150 mm (there were also plans for 170 mm&#33 main gun. And there is said no Maus saw battle (there were some orders to use it in fight, but were cancelled).

If we think about the same fotos I saw 2 of them. Maus has destroyed hull on rigt side, it`s turret lies on this side with guns in dust. There are no easy to see projectiles hit damages.

At.St_Walker, make it darker...

the red army reached the testing ground for this tank. A version with the turrent was destroyed by the germand and a version with only a mock turrent was captured by the russians after it got stuck in mud.
(I&#39;m not 100% shure about the facts)
