Takom 2050 Maus V2 WWII German Super Heavy Tank in 1/35 scale is a highly detailed, multi-part plastic model kit representing the legendary German super-heavy tank Panzerkampfwagen VIII Maus in the V2 version from World War II. This unique set allows for a faithful reproduction of the largest combat tank ever built, representing the pinnacle of engineering ambition of the Third Reich.

Historical background

The Panzerkampfwagen VIII Maus was an experimental German super-heavy tank developed between 1942 and 1945. Only two prototypes (V1 and V2) were built, with the first being incomplete, while V2 was the only one fully armed and equipped with original turrets. Maus was intended for combat on the Western Front but never reached operational status. Its weight of over 180 tons, exceptionally thick armor, and massive 128 mm gun were a testament to the last attempt to achieve technological superiority at the end of the war. The remains of the V2 vehicle can be found today at the Kubinka Museum.
