Man, that is one big gun. I've never seen this vehicle before. Did it enter production or was this one on Hitler's wish list ? Was that just an 88 with a longer barrel or was it something bigger ?

pretty sure it was a paper panzer, I would imagine for the size of the vehicle they probably would have put something larger than the 88, heck probably a naval gun would have fit :-)

Seen this one before (Squandered youth, I was weapons mad!)

IIRC the prototype had a 170mm Gun. I believe a 210mm gun was actually earmarked for this vehicle. I originally thought it was the 128mm (as in E100? ) Found these photos today though:




Look for Geschutzwagen Tiger (not Tiger II) I think it translates to Cannon / Gun Car.

Just found this at: http://www.achtungpanzer.com/pz13.htm
Look at Grille 17/21/30/42

The Grille 42 was to be armed with 420mm Grw mortar, that's 16.5 inches.

Have a look here http://modelltreff.de/artikel/loewe/loewe.htm, Sebastian Nast (?) gives a good rundown of how he converted Dragon’s E100 to a Grille 17, (Google translation here).
