Reviews : HobbyBoss Dora Railway Gun 80cm K(E)

I no longer have this model kit... I've bought it, looked at the box, explored the instructions and sold it. Don't get me wrong, the model is beautyfull, astonishing, one of a kind, with all the details you can imagine. I wasn't scared by all the plastic inside the box, and its not the biggest model I've ever built (I have a 1/72 Le quebec boat and a 1/4 visible chassis + engine from Renwal), but the thing is: where would I store it?! Even the massive box, where could I store it? And when I was looking at the parts, figuring out where everything would went, I started to get that question, where will I store it after being built? Where do I keep it while building it?... And... How big was the real one?! It gave me shivers to thing that a real thing this massive would actually shoot those projectiles at a city... If you have room for it, go ahead. If you dont, well... start clearing the shelfs!

This was a fun but extensive build. Took me several months to complete but I have limited bench time. Everything went together great. There are a few errors in the instructions but nothing that can’t be figured out with a little studying. Would definitely recommend if you have the space. It’s big.

great kit, Because all the fine parts are plastic, it builds faster than you think. look at some actual footage though.

Like all models, weathering this model and adding figures will create a great diorama.
