We must shield our eyes from this blasphemy and burn it. 1/18 or death!

I wouldn't get too hung up on the scale comparisons. If you want it, go for it!

Besides, that's not too bad for a kit and not a already assembled toy.

I was and I shelved it. There was lack of interest.

The model sells for $330 plus $60 shipping that is $390 which is cheap for a model this big.
The way things are going if I had built the Mause and offered it. It would be too high for most of the guys on the board.
Except for the nucleous of collectors who want anything 1/18.

This is a big tank I have the turret almost done. The turret is almost as big as an Sdkfz 251 :shock:
I can offer the full model for the same amount in 1/18 scale. That is one heck of a deal . Any takers ?

For anyone who is really serious about spending that kind of money for a kit and prefers 1/18th scale, check out this 1/18 resin JS-III for $300 delivered, and it even has individually linked metal tracks... http://www.monroeperdu.com/product_images/JS-111.jpg

i wonder if these are regular prices or some kind of 'clearance' price.

The JSIII is a lower price than it used to be and has been around for 6 years now...only 50 made iirc.
