  1. Seems like I already posted on this, but apparently not. At any rate, it's Beautimous! I only hope my own (1:24 kit), comes out as nice.
  2. Excellent. I hope my own (1:24 scale), K-4 ends up looking as nice.
  3. The more I think on it, a Fokker D.II or D.III would also be very cool.
  4. Speaking of the Dora, JJ Fedorowicz did a book a few years back on that beast. Does anyone here have a copy?
  5. Very nice undertaking. Some of the German armored trains and locomotives are on my "to get" list.
  6. I can't help but wonder if there's any chance of a Fokker D.II or D.III coming from WNW in the future?
  7. I always thought the old Revell Stuka (without wings), would make a great back scratcher, or perhaps be pressed into service as a wood rasp.
  8. Right. The first illustration could easily mean rail transport, while the second illustration would be the other transport mode, meaning self propelled, while again the first illustration would also be firing mode, as Nige has concluded. The instructions are wrong.
  9. They do look outstanding. When the cash allows, I may have to order a couple.
  10. Me 262 looks fantastic. Heck, they all look good.
  11. I think the designers at Trumpeter attended the Italeri school of ejector pin location design.
  12. What a cool beast. I just checked, and I have the identical kit (I thought I only bought the mortar itself), so if you need any spares for the trucks, please let me know, as I will not be building mine. I had the munitionsschlepper, but sold it; now it looks like I'll have to buy it again.
  13. To quote from The Agony and the Ecstasy; "When will you make an end"?
  14. Warsaw and Sevastapol (amongst others), were both recipients of shells from these huge mortars, and that had to be horribly unnerving.
  15. Thanks fellas;I love spending a few hours down there a week. It's my "re-alignment" time.
  16. Trumpeter also made a nice 1:35 Munitionsschlepper, if you were not already aware.
  17. I don't know for sure which barrel is depicted on the cover, the 54cm or 60cm. I think the longer barrel is the 54cm, but don't really recall. I'll PM a scan of the track securing mechanism as requested. Regards,
  18. According to this Panzer Tracts book on the Karl, the tracks were flush with the bottom of the road wheels, held in place by turnbuckles to the upper portions of the track, (above the return rollers). This was presumably done to keep tracks from dragging along the rails, as clearance was an issue.
  19. As regards the Huge aspect, you can't really beat the Revell/Monogram 1:48 and 1:72 bomber kits. Smaller scales, but big models. The B-14, B-24, B-52 and B-36 come to mind. (Perhaps a bit late for all this, but I just saw his thread for the first time.)
