Another excellent addition by Takom to its stable of big guns. I have all of them and will be buying this one! I'm building the Krupp 210 now.

...for me a must have, because I'm born in Essen (and still living here), hometown of Krupp heavy industries and a lot of famous "guns".

While I would like to see more of the "every day" field guns, any WW1 gun is a revelation and a cause to celebrate.

Having just researched and built this beast from scratch in 1:76, I'll be interested to see howTakom's interpretation agrees ...or disagrees... with mine.

Osprey recently did volume on this weapon billflorig. While I don't know if I'd call it "definitive" it's the most information I've ever seen about this gun in one place.
