Panzer Art GB35-078 is a top-quality set dedicated to modelers working in the 1/35 scale. This is a special set of parts intended for the German super-heavy tank Pz.Kpfw VIII Maus with Krupp turret, serving as a unique addition to both plastic and resin models. The set includes an armored gun mantlet along with two barrels: the main KwK44 12.8 cm and the coaxial KwK44 7.5 cm, both precisely reproduced by the renowned Panzer Art company. An additional advantage of the product is a metal barrel for the main gun, which ensures a realistic appearance and durability for the assembled model.

The Maus tank was a masterpiece of German engineering from the final phase of World War II. Its construction resulted from the need to build a vehicle capable of confronting any Allied armored weapon. Despite its colossal size and weight exceeding 180 tons, only two prototypes of the Maus were built by the Krupp factories. The version with the Krupp turret featured two guns: a powerful 128 mm main gun and a supplementary 75 mm gun. These tanks did not take part in combat, but their prototypes have survived to this day as museum exhibits. The Panzer Art product reflects the details of the actual mantlet and weaponry, recreating them with exceptional attention to historical and technical accuracy.
