Shar2 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Blooming impressive, even in 1/72. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HL-10 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Very impressive, and very big! I built one for a review a few years back and it is a monster! Great work, and the base is nicely done too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozz Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 WOW! as everyone said, amazing. i have built a K5 in 1/35, but dora is something else. i once read that dora had a total crew of about 5000 men, including engineers, gun crew and other support. and took two weeks to get ready to fire. would love to do it in 1/35, but with a £400 price tag and having to donate it to a museum after, its just crazy. how long/tall is it at 1/72? truly great work.

james007 Posted September 25, 2013 Author Share Posted September 25, 2013 Thank all mates, Glad that you like it,yes it really unbelievable how many crew that worked on it. it's 1 metre for the whole kit (including the rail track) but the dora by it self 80cm.
