1/144 DORA Rail Gun for 2006 - Part 2 (updated)





The mysterious 1/144 Dora has appeared on the FUJIMI site as a new item!!!
http://www.fujimimokei.com/newitem/index.html

maybe this will be the one that makes it into the HELLER box!?

1/144　組立プラモデル
80cm　ドーラ列車砲
15170-0
￥8,400
now, according to www.XE.com ￥8,400 = £41GBP or $72USD or 60 Euros!

there is a report (in Japanese) with pictures on el-bassers site (he has given persmiion for use of his dora photo) at the following location: http://geocities.yahoo.co.jp/gl/el_basser

it would appear with some care and thought it IS possible to get the dora to run on N-Gauge tracks!

this is not to be confused with the METAL Troops Version also distributed by FUJIMI in japan

1/144　金属部隊80cm(E)ド－ラ列車砲1/144　80cm(E)Dora Railway GunコードNo.15134-2 予価￥75600　6月発売予定 - which costs $640USD, or £368GBP or 540Euro!!

I know which version I will be buying!!!

    But the picture in Fujimi's site said the release date is February 10, not October. It should be available soon.
