That is an A4 sized certificate and the PE grills underneath.

I just saw a 1/6 scale Maus at rctanks.ru, but they don't list a price. What a beast that thing must be in 1/6 scale!!

These tracks are massive... I purchased the last of the Mark-1 Maus Spare Tracks in my Maus project research...
I'll try and put up an image tomorrow for scale comparison...

It used to be...
[TABLE="class: cms_table, width: 500"]
[TR]
[TD]Maus 1/6th
Maus 1/6th Radio Controlled Model Tank


Price: £3,700.00

[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="colspan: 2"]
Unpainted Rolling Chassis only
Painted in a base colour, with 6 Channel RC, Turn turret, Gun elevation and Twin ESC (correct engine sounds), Speakers and Battery. Ready to go (+GB£700.00)
[/TD]
[/TR]
[/TABLE]
If you picked it up direct... Plus extra and shipping otherwise...

Specifications
The hull, top and turret are constructed of high density GRP up to 35mm thick, making them extremely strong, but light. The wheels are cast Aluminium, with rubber tyres where specified. Suspension beams are hardened steel with cast aluminium drop arms with coil sprung suspension. The Motors have an integral reduction gearbox, with external chain drive, very smooth, efficient, and reliable. There are over 70 bearings in each Tank. The performance of these Tanks needs to be seen to be believed, being very powerful and robust. Maintenance is minimal. The tracks are a Zinc/Aluminium cast construction, with stainless steel pins. Performance is 3 to 7 mph depending on gearing choice, climbing 60-degree slopes with ease, and able to go through any surface. Running times depends on type, scale and surface conditions, but all will run for a minimum 1 hour, most over 2 hours, longer with bigger batteries. The Tanks can run through water safely over the track top height, sometimes more!
These Models are extremely robust, and thrive on running, yet remain as practical as is possible with any large scale RC Tank.
Approximate 1/8th, 1/6th or 1/4 all up weights are:
