Maus vs Tiger II

The Military Depot Maus is a very large model.
Compared here to a Roco Minitanks Tiger II.
The Maus is massive.
Here is the Maus turret on the Tiger II hull.  You can see how large the turret is in this photo.
The Maus turret on the Tiger II hull.  The turret is almost as big as the hull.

It looks like a toy with that hull turret combination.

Four Maus tanks and a Tiger II.

Maus Tank

Military Depot WWII German Maus super heavy tank.
The Germans made at least six hulls and turrets but the project was cancelled before any were operational.
They continued experimentation on three of them until the end of the war.
There are rumors that one or two of them were dispatched to Berlin for the last battle.
This is a large model kit made of resin and it has a highly detailed metal barrel.
I like the kit so well that I got four of them, since four heavy tanks make up a platoon, and the Germans did have enough turrets and hulls to make that many if they wanted to.
