I thought those tanks were easy builds like from Hat. Thats a lot of work.
I'll stay tuned for updates

I have the same opinion with Toby.
I thought these were mostly wargaming pieces but looks like we were wrong.
I especially liked the cast texture on the turret.
P.A.
I used to be a scale modeler like you. Then I took an arrow in the knee.

Erhan, you have been a busy builder!

Let me be the third to have the same opinion as Toby and Alexander. I've built the Pegasus SU-152 and while it has some very nice detail, it is also a quick build and has virtually non-exhistant outside track detail.

When I saw the detail of the suspension components, I had to scroll back to make sure it had said that this was a Pegasus model.

The parts count is also quite impressive! I'll be watching this one.

Cheers,

Actually the Pegasus Maus is as good as, or better than, the Dragon equivalent. And in some stores cheaper than Dragon. My Pegasus kits had a bit of flash in the engine deck vents to clean out, but nothing difficult. A very nice model.

Hi friends,
I'm were stunned you about Pegasus Hobbies

You're right, Pegasus Hobbies often makes for wargame models. Like this ISU 152..
But there are some exceptions. Maus, M-26 Pershing, M-46 Patton.. they have very nice detail...
And, mounting was fast for me. Because Turkey had a holiday yesterday. Children's Feast ..

Erhan,
I noticed you airbrush Vallejo Model Color on your subjects. What do you use to thin the paint? I tried using everything from water to VJ Thinner but they always clog my airbrush.

@erhntly Erhan,
I have this kit in the stash so Ive been watching you put together your example to see if you had any assembly issues and looks like not! You have quite a striking paint scheme going there; I dont believe I had seen this one on any of my Maus reference photographs?
However it does look interesting to me . . . waiting to see how it will turn out once youve aged the paint and applied some weathering, thusfar youre doing a good job.

Hi Toby,
You are right. I use vallejo for airbrush. (Model color or model air does not matter)
The trick: using "Vallejo airbrush cleaner" for dilute. thin by a very successful. I am very satisfied and no clog

Hi Eddy and thank you

Kit is very successful, there is no problem.
My camouflage scheme is "What if".

Maus never fought. 2 units produced, few have a half-prototype. So, all the mouse models with "what if".

Absolutely incredible Maus model. Love the surface texturizing and Wow!....What a Cool Paint scheme there.
I was a little amazed by the complexity of the road wheel system. Also I like their method of mating up lengths of track.....looks really seamless.
Congratulations, Bill.

I like your paintjob that much that I'll paint my own Maus the same way.
I actually got a Pegasus Maus for myself.
