VK 100.01 (P) Ausf. B Heavy Tank
VK 100.01 (Or Tiger-Maus Project) is initial design of Porsche’s 100 ton super heavy tank that was favored over Krupp’s Pz.Kpfw. VII (Panzerkampfwagen VII Löwe) design. Numbered as ‘K 3381’ and prepared by Ing. Leopold Schmid, the initial designation for the project was ‘Porsche Typ 205’; Afterwards, the first prototype, to be ready in 1943 was initially to receive the name Mammut (Mammoth). This was reportedly changed to Mäuschen (Little Mouse) in December 1942 and finally to Maus (Mouse) in February 1943.

Some part cleanup will be necessary. The 3D printing process uses a waxy substance to support certain part features during the printing process. Although the parts are cleaned by Shapeways, some waxy residue may remain.  It can be safely removed with water and a mild aqueous detergent like "Simple Green" using an old, soft toothbrush, Q-tips or pipe cleaners.  Customers report that "Bestine" and "Goo Gone" also work well.During the printing process, liquid resin is cured by ultraviolet light.  Microscopic bits of resin may remain uncured.  

Let your parts sit in direct sunlight for a few hours to fully cure the resin.  
Water-based acrylic paints meant for plastics is strongly recommended. Other paints, especially enamels, may not cure on Frosted Detail 3D-printed plastics.
Use dedicated model sprue cutters to remove parts to minimise the risk of damage to parts.
