Seems I was a bit confused by the color of the cap back then - not the chest-eagle, I don't know why I wrote it but okay...
The cap seemed a bit too infantry-like but what Christian said is right - I understand now

Bill, both the Morser Karl and the Leopold have been available in 1:35, by both Trumpeter and Dragon.Bill Medland wrote:A "collectible model kit" list would have to include the Hasegawa Mörser Karl on railway carrier and the Leopold railgun, both in 1:72.
These kits reach Germany in ones and twos in German model shops about twice a year. I have several friends in Germany that are always on the lookout for them.
Altough I am not really a fan of 1:72 scale or Hasegawa, they look cool on my World War Two Model Railroad! 8)
I just wish the rail guns were available in 1:35! Then I could build a Garden railroad, well we can dream![]()
Regards,Bill.

I've seen this one as well. It is the 1970s Mk 1a (also available in standard box) and not the original moulding, the tools for which may have been destroyed. Airfix retooled several of their popular kits, viz, the Spitfire, Lysander, Hurricane, Mosquito, to name a few. If you can find original examples of these kits, they may be worth a bit.Lustmolch wrote:At my local model shop the other day, I saw an anniversary edition Spitfire by Airfix.
In the plastic bag with header card, this appears to be a limited edition repackaging. The header card is a 1950s facsimile, while the kit itself looks like the 1970s example, albeit in turquoise plastic.
As I said, it is certainly not my taste. However, that would be one advantage-no research! You would probably have to reserach what after market products would be suitable, if you really wanted to build it.Christian Ankerstjerne wrote:Hmmm... I have a feeling the documentation search for this kit will be exhausting, yet fruitless.
