Vespid Models VS720006 Maus II German Super Heavy Tank 1/72 is an extremely detailed plastic model kit replicating the German super heavy tank Panzerkampfwagen VIII Maus II in the popular 1/72 scale. This product is intended for demanding modelers passionate about WWII armored vehicles, especially German experimental projects.

Brief historical overview: The Maus II is a development of the original Maus project, the heaviest tank ever designed by Germany during World War II. The vehicle weighed 188 tons and was intended as a response to Soviet super heavy tanks. Despite intensive design work from 1942 to 1944, it never entered mass production; only two unfinished prototypes were built. The tank was never used in combat, but its concept and ambitious design still fascinate military technology enthusiasts today. The experience gained from working on Maus II contributed to the development of technologies implemented in later armored vehicles.
