Hey you braille scalers! Check this baby out:
It’s a 1/72 newbie by Pegasus Hobbies. It’s $12.99 at Mission Models:

Love to see a real example of the kit. Whose going to be first??
There’s a new Dragon Wagon reference shown there, too!
Excuse me while I wipe the drewl off the key board. That looks awsome! I want to, but limit on kits is up for now. Of course, one more can’t hurt too bad [:D]…
Yeah, and after all, it is 1/72, so not toooo much pain!! Maybe I’ll order one when I order the mantlet for my DML E-100!
Do you know much about the manufacturer. I haven’t heard of them before.
Hmm…now that would be an interesting addition.
Hey scubaboy, it only costs about as much as gallon of gas. LOL [(-D][V]
tou guys think your gas is expensive… and we live right on top of oil!!!
we’re paying about 2.33 a gallon, USD. you guys have no room to complain…
Dean, I’m sorry to say, I don’t. The guys at Mission Models are REAL good to work with and talk to. When I get ready to order, I’ll ask them about the quality, etc. I noticed that they’ve (Pegasus) has a few other models out. As I recall, they are all Russian, so maybe they are one of the Eastern Bloc countries. I’m really not sure. But I guess it’s worth risking $13 to find out. This payday, my wife as insisted (really) that I order the new Polar Lights NX-01 Enterprise model. (Surprised the heck out of me, too!) And I’m wanting to get an order off to Grandt Line. So, maybe next payday. I’d really like to get started on my E-100, just to keep J-Hulk happy, of course!! lol
Are you talking Imperial Gallons??
We’re paying close to that most places here too. California, I understand, is way over that. I’d heard it was close to $3.00 per gallon in some places over a month ago. It’s not good anywhere.
Guys, here are some kit pics:

Looks nice to me. Another Maus kit … oy gewalt! [(-D]
Thanks, Larry. It looks pretty good to me. Especially for 1/72! Guess I was way off base with the Eastern Bloc stuff though! Unless California has joined up recently!! lol
Nice, Bill!
I picked up Dragon’s little 1/144 Maus and E-100 kits a few weeks ago. Nice little kits, and with PE, to boot!
If 1/72 and 1/76 armor are “braille scale,” what is 1/144?
How about “hopeless”!!
I haven’t seen them yet, Brian. Man! A 1/144 kit!! I’ve done a wingy thingy or two in that scale, but a tank! Wow! Although I did buy a Can Do Tiger I a few weeks ago, but I didn’t have to put it together! Must be one HUGE pe fret!! lol
There’s one more kit I have to see about getting. I never liked the looks of the Maus, since it looked like two boxes thrown together with some pipes sticking out. Still, the Germans built it, the Germans moved it a few feet, so therefore I am obligated to add that to my collection! [;)]
Seriously though, I’m glad to finally see it. That is a tank I have been wanting, despite my thoughts on it’s appearance.
Now to start saving up some cash!
I have a few of the World Tank Museum 1/144th scale tanks as kits. I got them on eBay – they were released in Japan on a limited basis as kits. There aren’t a whole lotta pieces – maybe seven or eight. And those pieces are about the size of some of the pieces you are accustomed to putting onto a 1/35th scale kit.
Hey Brian, how about the Can-Do 1/144th Morser Karl or the K5? (They did a K5, didn’t they?) Any word on those?
Bill,
I cannot figure out how you stand to gain from ruining my client.

Ausf’s accountant.
[;)]
Ausf! your accountant would that be your wife. [(-D]
Hmm 1/72nd scale Maus, sounds interesting…what do you think ausf, can we build that in 24 hours [;)]
It would be about as complete as the original.
Yeah, kind of like Chris’s (M1Abrahms) “first” tank! lol
I get nothing but the satisfaction of knowing I’m not the only one with this disease!! loll
Larry, I saw the FOUR 1/144 Morser (54cm and 60cm) kits at the LHS last weekend. Only about 7 bucks each, too. Not Karl, but Loki, Odin, Thor, and Ziu. They come with either a bunch of figures (12), a Pzr III command tank, or a Panther command tank.
And lots of PE!
I’ve collected ALL the Kaiyodo World Tank Museum vehicles!
There’s a million of 'em!
The candy that comes with 'em is tasty, too!
