Maus Completed

Here's a few shots of the Pegasus Maus I've completed. Its a great kit, and the fit on all parts was very nice. Pegasus included nice thick metal axles to attach the drive sprockets and return idlers on, for strength. It works out well too, the "rubber band" tracks go on without any problems. The tracks are very finely detailed also, and took paint well.
 
There are four mystery holes on the top of the turret, one near each corner, which I could not figure out a use for. I filled them with putty and sanded them down. Not many other areas on the model needed filling and final assembly went off without a hitch.
 
Here's a photo of the 3 tone camo applied, and the wash.  I finished it up with drybrushing and using an old #2 lead pencil to simulate scratched and worn paint. More photos are available by clicking the link below.

The tracks are nicely detailed; I have yet to weather and drybrush them.
