Big Bertha

¹⁄35

Sunday, October 18, 2015 - 01:14 AM UTC

Takom has announced news of a new Big Bertha on its way. Designed and manufactured during World War one this is one big artillery piece.

The German Empire Krupp 42cm Siege Howitzer ‘Big Bertha’ is a 16.5 Inch gun, and so the same calibre as many of the battleships that went into service during World War 2. So if you want a big gun this could be right up your street.

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.
