How was constructing the Maus? Did you do it out of the box or modify it? What color did you paint it? Any chance for some close ups?
thanks

Bottom right is Hobby Fan's IKV-91 amphibious tank hunter. Light weight, light armor, 90mm gun.
The Maus is mostly out of the box, I changed out the main gun barrel to the 128 from the Pak 44 (?) and am trying to add a Panther Cupola but I'm missing the hatch.
No problems building it. If you try one, be very careful aligning the panels.
I'm a little concerned about getting the tracks on later
This is what I'm aiming for

Nice pattern on the Maus, bit surprised by the M2HB & M1919 though? Presume there's a story behind those?
IKV 91 - one of the better looking AFV's out there, hadn't seen one with a rear turret bin though?

I am very interested in the Maus construction and would appreciate any updates. I have heard a great deal about the track -- and, none of it good.
thanks again
