Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Enough frontal armour to stop an 8" naval AP shell + open-top casemate = perfectly stupid idea!  :thumbsup:  :thumbsup:  ;D

Needs a bigger (longer) gun.  But apart from that it's fantastic.   :thumbsup:  :thumbsup:

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

I was think that myself, specially the first bit you wrote. ;)  ;D
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

I suppose once it runs out of ammunition it's a case of "prepare to ram" with a barrel that long ?  ;D

Looks good sir  :thumbsup:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Perfect German thinking by then! Which means it was a waste of their time and effort. Truly a Bad Idea!
Great build!

Thanks alot guys ...so glad this thing was a success  :thumbsup:
In the RW the length of that gun was not that extreme compared to proposed future guns .
The gun in the King Tiger was the L71 88mm..the L71 part denotes the caliber length..which is best described using cannon balls which was the first way they measured the length.
So ya just take a 88mm diameter ball and how ever many it takes to fill the guns barrel from one end to the other there's ya calibre length.
There was officially drawn up plans for 88mm and 105mm guns from L90 to L130 calibers ..that's just stupid 🙄
So a 88mm L/100 gun would have a barrel length of 8.8 meters (28.8 feet)....a 88mm L/130 gun would be 11 meters long ( 36.1 feet )  :banghead:
Imagine trying to use a tank with a gun that long 😳
Pure stupidity..make a bloody good washing line tho  :wacko:
