This is probably my favorite model of all time simply because it’s been my dream to have a Maus in my collection since I was a kid and saw it for the first time in an old-school video game called Blitzkrieg. But the old Dragon kit was hardly available, and the new Takom kits weren’t a thing yet.

When I managed to get my hands on one, I started building it right away. I’ve put all my patience, skill, and attention to it! The paint job was brainstormed with Adam Wilder, and I’m glad I listened to his advice. My original plans were much crazier – I wanted to paint it in an oak leaf pattern from German uniforms.

Although the model is pretty old now, it still has huge value for me.
