Title: Crazy Soviet Gun....
Post by: Neldoreth on July 31, 2007, 10:30:12 PM

If I could cross post this, it would be in the WWII section as well... Not sure if it is real, but I think it is! Anyone know the details?

From the looks of it the middle has been photochopped at some point.

Looks like a divisional porcine howitzer, model 1944 or 1945.

Looks suspiciously like the Dora German railgun sliced in the middle and with robot legs added.

Stageringly there is going to be a 1/35th scale kit of it, but it costs over £200.

1/35th? HAH! I once saw a II-gauge (~1:22.5th scale) model of the Dora at a modelling show.... not THAT´s insanity.
