Here I'm just thrilled that anyone is offering something like this in 1/35! Perhaps they could pull a trick from Dragon and re-release as a "2-in-one" kit with both WW1 & 2 options. Just saying.

Sorry about all the confusion Carlos got ahead of me a bit when he posted this. First the name has been corrected. Fat finger typing is now "Kurze" "Kurtz was MIA at Dunkirk. The Kit/kits covered was based on the one that was Captured by Australia in WW1 and from there we created the WW2 version which is basically the same gun minus the jacks and turntable attachments, These were removed by Belgium between the wars then when Germany acquired Belgium 6 of these guns were repatriated and were used in France and along the Belgium coast.. (Sorry, None ever made it east so no Sevastopol Dioramas with this one) Gamma on the way for that, The Fixed position Kit can be made into a Portable "Fixed" position with the unit built up on a temporary Steel girder Frame(Not included but will make drawings available for those who want to do that) or as a coastal defense with concrete "bunker" Depression. Here is a link to a new list of reference photos.. More will be available once I smooth out out the pre-orders and finalize the instructions. LINK

The full WW1 Kit will make both versions.. I just separated it into 2 skus so you did not have to waste money and get the extra parts needed for the WW1 version when you only want a WW2.

Will these also be available to pre order on the EU store?

LINK just pick the postage option you need, domestic US or outside the US. Or send an email to get a quote for postage when combining more products in one shipment. / Robin

Hi - The Bruno MODEL DEPICTS ONE OF THE 28CM S. K. L/40 BRUNO RAILWAY GUNS THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN USED IN WWI, GIVEN TO BELGIUM AS PART OF REPARATIONS AFTER THE WAR, CAPTURED IN 1940 BY THE GERMANS AND USED IN FRANCE DURING 1940 OR SERVING IN A COASTAL DEFENSE ROLE THROUGHOUT WWII. With small changes the same model can be used for WWI or WWII and in both semi-fixed or railway configurations. Hope that helps a bit. Regards

The battle history of the WW1 version seems a bit opaque. Did these actually have much combat usage during the Great War? I have to say, this is EXACTLY the sort of thing I like seeing as railroad guns were a BIG part of the Great War.

Oh, be still my heart! This thing is a beauty and would look so good in its own display case.

Placed my order. Should go nicely in the never to actually be built tower of kits I have 😜 Already have a few railway guns in there so this was a must. 🥴
