1/72 GERMAN RAILWAY GUN K5(E) "LEOPOLD" w/FIGURE

Hitler's fascination with massive armaments is epitomized by Germany's heavy investment in railway guns. "Leopold", one of 25 K5 railway guns made by Krupp for World War II, was a behemoth of a gun. It weighed 240 short tons, fired 560 lb/eleven-inch shells, and had to be moved and aimed on specially designed railroad tracks. Once emplaced, the Leopold could fire shells up to forty miles. Needless to say, you didn't want to be in the area when the shell came down.

When completed, this model measures about 444mm long and 42mm wide. Parts come moulded in grey. Includes decals and parts to build figures.
