1/144 German 28cm K5(E) 'Leopold' Railway Gun - Dragon

1/144 German 28cm K5(E) 'Leopold' Railway Gun - Dragon

Est Release Date: September 2019  (re-issue)

Dragon appears to be expanding the Mini Armour collection, by reissuing the German 28cm K5(E).

his kit has everything needed to form a diorama straight from the box, for the set includes a section of railway track and embankment for the railway gun to sit on. Not only that, but Dragon also includes artillery crewmen to populate the gun and surrounding diorama.

One is finished in plastic that is German panzer Gray, and the other in dark yellow, therefore you can choose the Anzio/Italian theatre or Normandy

Interestingly, Dragon Models USA website still lists the original 2004 issue on its website ! (I wonder if we are going to see the other railways series and the Karl Morser's issued again  )

What is interesting is the gaps in the kit numbers (SKU) from Dragon, it would appear there could be more to come (there appear to be 8 missing numbers)?

Packaging is designed to mimic the 1:35 boxes, with packs intended for the Japanese market have "card scenery bonus"?
