Ok, I'm in. I'm going to build a FlakMaus -- a Maus with twin 10.5cm Flak guns, in 1/72nd.

Don't have much money right now, but I might try for a flying tank of some sort. I have a crappy old kit of a bi-plane, and I can blend it with the something heavy like a panther, or Tiger Tongue [:P]

!!!

The story could be something like, The army's need for air support took another roll when general NAME came up with the idea of the flying TANK OF SOME KIND. The concept became a raging succes and hundreds were built!!

I've seen it, so in a way I guess it was possible to do, but the T-70 was tiny and I want a FAT-OL Tiger!!!!! Tongue [:P]

scratch it. cut a wide vertical slit in the front of the turret and put the mortar into it. all you need for the mortar is two tubes that fit into each other snugly, there's your barrel. add some little tubes and wires for coolness effect and you're set. Smile [:)]

These things kinda run themselves. We all know the start date and the end date, so I think we are good to go.

Back with an update. I had some rectangular pieces of plastic that came with my tamiya pz 2 so I took those and was wondering how on earth i was going to attach them to the turret when I thought. Why not do zimmerit? So I did and well its my first time but im not as picky since its not on a "real" model. Ill get some pics of my progress shortly though.

That's a funny badge!

I can't wait to start on my own build -- which should be a fairly straightforward modificaton (he said, moments before taking that step that plunged him into the abyss) ....

I'm building a flak Maus -- a Maus with one or maybe two 10.5 cm flak guns mounted on it.

Don't laugh -- I wouldn't be surprised if the Germans thought of it.

An alternate idea was the Maus Infanterie Panzer -- a Maus except with one machine gun mounted as the main armament, in honor of the Panzer I. Tongue [:P]

At least I can display the Flak Maus with a straight face ....

I think I'll join this build. My hobby store has tons of old,cheap models I can scavenge from. I could tell you what I have in mind, but then I'd have to kill you. So, all I need is some duct tape, a U-boat, various chopper parts, and some torpedo tubes. Actually, I have no idea what I'm going to build. Wait....... wait, an idea's coming; nope, I lost it.
