Karl Gerat 60 cm mortar

Oh, quit jokin’ around. There’s not nearly enough power in that outlet for the vehicle. [:)]

Spec, that is a nice build-up. Looking very cool. I’m looking forward to seeing the weathered gun. How are you going to weather it? Smoke from firing and travel dust? I don’t think they moved around much on their treads, and I assume they positioned them on very hard fairly level ground.

Maybe it’s just me, but I’ve always been a little surprised by how tank-like in size this thing looks. I mean, really really BIG tank, but now that’ it’s been rendered in 1/35th, a scale I know fairly well, still it’s not as humongous as I had always imagined it being.

Larry: It is approx. twice the length of a Panther tank . I too once thought these things were almost built in place , I would imagine they didn’t travel very far , but they could move ! That shell is just enourmous I have pix of the real one firing it literally causes an earthquake , would hate to be on the recieving end for sure ! The original bunker buster ![B)]

Whoa! Maybe the pics are deceiving me. I guess I need to buy one now to confirm. [:)]

I’m actually waiting and hoping that Trumpeter releases the one they have created, which includes both railway transport cars. Now there’s a cool diorama in the waiting. I don’t know if they will actually be releasing it or not. If they do, it’s certain to be a fiddlier build than the DML.
