Have fun!
looks great!
The word that immediately comes to mind is … Spectacular ! That is a monster of a kit - how long did that take to build? I keep returning to look at these pictures over and over. This is outstanding work.

Many thanks for your kind compliments, James and Larry! I really appreciate them!
Larry, you’re right about this kit - a true monster. While the Leopold has 1,140 parts
and the Morser Karl-Gerat (Late Version) on railway has 1,251 parts, this kit contains
1,361 parts! It’s probably the kit with most parts ever released. It took “Art Instructor”
around 6 days to build. I gave him this kit, M730 A1, TO-55, Sd.Kfz. 7/1 and 8.8cm
Raketenwerfer w/ crew on 23 Sep. He delivered them all finished on 4 October,
meaning that it took him just 10 days to finish these 4 pieces of work :
Two days for 2 tanks, 2 days for the dio, leaving 6 days for this monstruous kit.
Have you seen his earlier works - the Leopold, Morser Karl Late and BR-52?

WOW!!! that’s a sweet and monstrous build!
does “Art Instructor” spend? at least 18 hours a day making models? It would have taken me two years to gather up enough motivation to even start the kit, and 10 more for me to even remotely call it “almost done” [:D]
Many thanks for your kind comments, jinithith2! 18 hours a day is too much, I think. I guess he works around 12-15 hours a day. I believe you’ll somehow build this monstrous kit some day, it’s just a matter of time!
Very impressive , that brute would look great in anyones collection. I have always a fascination with these giant guns . Let me guess your next project may be the 1/35 scale " Dora " railway gun ? That would be totally awesome . I have the old Hasegawa 1/72 scale "Anzio Annie " , still a decent kit of a giant gun.

Many thanks for your kind words, Frank! You’re right about the “Dora” 1:35. I sure will have to get one once it’s available. My friend said he’ll go to Hong Kong where it is produced, to get it.
I have never seen the “Anzio Annie” 1:72 from Hasegawa. I have only their “Leopold” and “Morser Karl” in the same scale. Can you show me some pics?
All I can say is “WOW” !!! Very impressive! [8D]
