Here is one of my 1:110 scale Maus tanks next to a newer “V2” sclae (1:100) King Tiger. Its made to be right in between the oder AAM tanks, and the newer ones. It looks fine with each scale.
These range in price from $40 (simpler 1-color), most about $60, but some up to $80 (with many extra features and ambush camo).
Currently, I have only sand colored maus with the side cables in stock right now. Those can be all sand, or have camo added, or even the ambush camo. I can make any configuration you want (even unpainted tanks that you finish yourself), but it may require a month or two wait, since Im low on resin right now. But a sand based maus, with at least a few features, I could supply right away.
I have unpainted, white-plastic flak turrets all made up, but just not painted. I can have one of those ready at a moments notice. Those are $25 to $35, depending on if it is to have the complicated ambush camo or not.
If you want to discuss any more options, give me an e-mail at

Just picked these up. I think they are a new release. The box is huge compared to the pieces…lol.
There is a lot of flash to clean up but they should look good when painted.!
-
Cool, be sure to show them when your done.

I feel like they lost a bit of detail once painted. They turned out ok. Did some a paratroopers. -
@sjelso Looks like some inkwash and a quick drybrush will bring out those details.
-
@Field-marshall Agree, have not mastered that technique yet. Tried dipping some pieces but wasn’t that great.
-
For starters just take a fine brush and apply a little wash in the bottom of any recessed areas to create the shadow effect. This is called “pin washing” and it is very effective at getting those details to pop out. You can make your own wash by taking a dark color paint and diluting it about 50/50.

@Field-marshall Cool, I will give it a try. TY

Use dark dark brown on warm colors and black for cool colors for the wash?
Dry brushing is also almost like magic. First few times I did it, it wasn’t perfect but added a lot. After a few more tries,it just gets better.
I haven’t painted anything in years.
