Takom has announced another 1/144th scale piece of Armour, a Land Kreuzer P1500 Monster. I have not heard of this one before, not even as a paper panzer.

just a fantasy with the 80 Dora gun on top. The recoilbars on the lide look a little bit useless. Should be on the back .

Love it!! Bring on Dora the Explorer! Really enjoyed the P1000 so this should be more fun! Now we just need some U.S. "mega-Panzers" to combat these rolling behemoths!

The only other Dora project I've ever seen was a long barreled version that was going to fire a special "arrow shell" designed at Peenemunde.

If Takom did the Dora railgun in 1/144, I'd probably get it. At least it was real. Might not ever build it, but I'd probably buy it!

I believe those are designed to stabilize the gun and take the stress off of the suspension, not absorb recoil.
