Hello everyone,
I'm currently working on a german tank called the maus. I'm sure you all have heard of it. I was painting the base coat and i was using Humbrol paint. Where the paint in most spots hit the tank it was already dry. So once i had finished there were nice areas on the tank turrent and dark dry paint areas and it looked a mess. The tank hull was all good. But it was the turrent that was the problem. So stupidly i was dumb enough to think, i'll get the paint off with turps and start over again. I was successful at removing the paint, but seem turps eats EVERYTHING it' eaten into the plastic and removed all the detail, Completely ruined.
So i would like to ask everyone; would any of you happen to have a spare 1/35 scale MAUS turrent with the mantlet? If so i would love to buy it off you.
Thanks
Regards Callum.

Hi Callum,

Atelier Infinite has the Maus turret. It's not cheap, but it is the corrected version since the Dragon turret has many errors.
