My goodness Shermanfreak, what a big...gun you're sitting on there Tongue [:P] That is one of the coolest tanks the Allies built. Too bad it didn't see much action (if any???can't remember that either!!)

Erock68 The Morser "Loki" is coming out in a week or 2 I think too. You gonna get one? I've got the Karl too btw. Tongue [:P] I can't decide on the Loki yet...Big Smile [:D]

It's the T28 Super Heavy Tank. I believe there were 2 built (this is the only survivor). As far as I know they never fired a shot in anger.
Happy Modelling and God Bless Robert

I will bring my digi cam and get those special modeler's pics of the gizmos and doodads.

Yes Shermanfreak, I too was asked repeatedly to "GET OFF THE TANKS" hehehehe.

Speaking of scale, and big guns...>>>

Erock68 Check this out!
Jader-models has released a turned aluminum barrel for the Karl Morser!!! It's two pieces, has rifiling and is awesome! $29.95 is what my hobby shop had it marked at and I got it for a little less. The main barrel is one ong piece with the rifiling, and the breech connects to the back end of it. The second piece is a sleeve that slides over the tube for the strenghtening bands or whatever the thick portion of the barrel is. The website listed on the box is http://www.jader.com.pl I can't connect to it from here but it could be the firewall stopping me (other enteties control that from off base Tongue [:P] )

They are also supposed to be doing a full barrel for the Leopold in the next month or 2 and I'm sure there'll be a Loki barrel after that!! Check it out, it's worth it.

Sorry about that Erock!! Unless I wrote it down wrong, that's what's on the box!! My shop is AAA Hobby in Marietta GA.
http://www.aaahobby.com/

Not much of a site really and I don't think they'll have pics of the barrel...However, for a small fee Wink [;)] I will take pics tonight and post them for you to see!! Big Smile [:D] Might be late but I'll get them for you. It's a work of art I'm telling you. I can only imagine the Leopold barrel!!

Erock68 don't tease me like that!!!

It's going to be hard to pass up but I don't know what I'm going to do with all these big models???? Tongue [:P]

Have you ordered yours yet???Big Smile [:D]

I hope my shop treats you right but I know they said they didn't get much of a break themselves. I hope you mentioned my name, they might charge you extra!! Big Smile [:D] Wink [;)]
