Now it is an active link. http://new-connection.de/Pages/news.htm Wow that kit is huge! As will the price no doubt!

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 ?

Wolfsix

hate to be on the recieving end of that ginormous beast! i'd say its too big haha wonder what the price on that things gonna be phew wee!

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 :-)

Rather interesting....
As for price....
Just a second morgage, and your first born son...... LOL

holy cow! thats awfully BIG!

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).

From the site:

Looks like a enlarged Hummel.
