It is very strong and will melt pretty much all plastics. I use this Plastruct liquid poly or EMA plastic weld when I am in doubt about the materials suitability to the other glues. Your usual Tamiya extra thin or Humbrol liquid poly will apparently not work. It is worth noting that the plastic used in the manufacture of this kit requires some pretty strong glues to make it melt. So moving on to the kit itself, we will see we have many many parts moulded in black plastic. On pages 3, 4 and 5 we find some great pictures which will help you superdetail or correct the kit. I have included some pictures of the pages here, for discussion only. When we open the book up we find some great information all about the Dora railway gun. The manual is supplied as a 284 x 210mm book, containing 38 pages and 31 build stages and made using very high quality paper. We also have three springs, a large bag of screws and some wire for the cranes.Īs already mentioned, this kit is massive and as a result will require an age to review properly, so I'll do this one in stages, starting today with the instruction manual presentation and the rail cars. There are large PE parts to depict the grids on the second level rail cars and some grating around the rest of the model. There are no fewer than 91 sprue's in the model, not including the large parts which aren't mounted on a sprue. The model is packaged in plastic bags, all labelled to describe what is in the bag, these bags are found in four boxes within the large outer box, each box is labelled to describe what bags are in the box. The kit is advertised as having over 3000 parts, well, I've counted them, and can confirm there are no less than 3315 parts including plastic, PE, wire, screws and springs. Postage can be very expensive, so check the kits location before bidding. Obviously the kit is available now on E-bay, with a very wide range of selling price. Note the Tamiya paint pot at the bottom to give an idea of size.Īs mentioned above, this kit is not currently available at the time of writing, but it will soon be available again through all the major kit suppliers. Here is a picture of the huge box, that door behind the box is 2ft 6" wide. The packaging is absolutely massive and the total kit weighs around 24 KG!! this one, claiming to be the biggest in the world is something to behold. There are plastic model kits, and then there are plastic model kits. Soar Art Workshop - Metal Troops CreationĬurrently out of production, but soon to be re-released.
