Dragon Armour Maus Super Heavy Weight Tank. 60156REF: 60156 Scale 1:72 Length 123mm The Maus was from the family of Super-heavy tanks designed in response to the arms race of ever-increasing armament and armour in tanks during WW2. Although some models were built, they were impractical and saw no active service or combat. Some extreme tank designs approved by Adolph Hitler during World War 2 were devised to be all-conquering monsters of the battlefield. A prime example of these would have to be the Maus, which only reached the prototype stage. This superb model depicts the Maus in its development stage using a weight accurate mock-up turret. These tanks were designed by the Nazis as a possible way of winning the war and by the allies as a way of countering any advances in enemy armour. Hitler was a keen advocate of super-heavy AFVs and personally agreed to the development of the Maus whereas in Britain and America the stunning effectiveness of the German 88mm's forced home the point that much thicker armour and much better armament was needed on their own tanks.
