Scale Models - View Single Post - Color of German E-100 Super Heavy Tank?

Gerry · 15-03-2008

Hello guys (Greg and Richard)

Thanks for the suggestions Greg. They were indeed helpful, especially the website that Greg posted. In fact, I didnt realize there were so many camouflage options with lots of photos to choose from. As I browsed thru a myriad of photos and documentary write ups, I came to learn that the largest battle tank ever built was the German Maus or (mouse). This behemoth was to weigh 205 tons and 2 were actually built. The tracks were made so wide as to reduce ground pressure (the weight of this monster had to be spread out or the road underneath would crack as the thing rolled). The Maus and the E-100 are in the same league, I've read. The prototype E-100 was discovered in 1945 by allied forces without a turret and never saw action.

I hope a 1:35 scale model of the Maus would be introduced in the market. It would be an interating kit to build. Anyway, Im enclosing some photos of my just concluded German E-100 Super heavy tank with a newly painted camouflage pattern. I hope I did right.
