Pics of 1/35 Dora

Post by aferguson » Sat Dec 30, 2006 4:29 pm

I came across this site which has some pretty nice pics of the 1/35 Dora rail gun model that's available.

Impressive, most impressive...

btw that video is a bit of a scam. It's propoganda footage. Shows Dora being loaded but not Dora being fired...it's another, much smaller (but still huge) railway gun firing. May be a K5, i forget which now.
