The only thing I know 'bout this is it was a large German Railgun. May mission pa nga sa "Commandos" na isa-sabotage mo ito e... Grabe yung mga pics...Parang sinlaki ng dalawang tao yung shell nya...

Malamang around 1500 nga lang 'to. Trumpeter's kits are very cheap and they offer a lot of value for their money. Grabe pa ang detail as in tipong mabubulag ka sa liit ng parts nila. Pwede rin chip-in tayo as a group build tapos per subassembly tayo

Nakatambay na nga ako sa PMMS para lang ma-update :-)

Looks like each sub-assembly is a medium-sized kit. Yung isang rail car pa lang aabutin ka na ng ilang araw.

The DML Leopold is now available at Lil's Megamall for around Php 3500. The Trumpeter version is supposed to be more detailed and cheaper though and patience is advised. The box is huge and heavy. Just couldn't resist trying to lift it and imagine I'm carrying it home #:-)

Jeep: try smuggling Tamiya's 1/350 BB IJN Musashi in the house so that you're parents won't get a whif on what drain you plunked down that P1,500. :-) After doing that, I thought I was safe. Then one night, I inadvertently left the door unlocked and here comes dad seeing me on the bed building the hull of the Musashi. Hehehe fortunately, I had the motor assembled and immediately demonstrated to him the mechanism since he likes things that run. Hehehe safe and sound. :-)
