Here are some images of Dragon models 1/35 scale Krupp 28 cm K5 railway gun "Leopold". The K5 guns were probably the most successful of the large railway guns which could fire 565lb shells a distance of 40 miles. A total of 28 K5s were constructed between 1936 and 1945. This kit was a beautiful model to build although it is an expensive model to purchase. When I bought this kit in 2003 it was around $140 Cdn, today who knows. I have yet to see it re released. If you do manage to purchase one make some room because it does make an impressive display piece.
Wow!
ReplyDeletethat is one heavy looking piece of equipment. Amazing firepower, but I'm guessing they were pretty hard to hide...
dunno if i may be considering in getting a leopold gun by DML or the Trumpeter or which is better?
ReplyDeleteThe Trumpeter kit is cheaper but it doesn't come with figures. Both are about the same quality.
