For the first time, I really feel that I need to visit Russia !

Last year we discussed the German heavy mortars, including the 60cm'Karl' and 'Thor', etc and wondered if any were left.

The recent release of Dragon's 1/35 scale model 'Karl' has raised some interesting website discussions on the 'net and yes, the Russians DID keep one ! It's at the Kubinka Tank Museum and you can see it at ; -

Come on, Sommecourt ! How about arranging a Forums Tour.... [img]tongue.gif[/img]
