Item History & Price
CanDo (Dragon) - Gerat 40/41 Self Propelled Mortar - 1:144 Scale - Inc Diorama Base & Display Case "Karl-Gerät" (040/041) (German literally "Karl-device"), also known as Mörser Karl, was a World War II German self-propelled siege mortar (Mörser) designed and built by Rheinmetall. Its heaviest munition was a 60 cm (24 in) diameter, 2, 170 kg (4, 780 lb) shell, and the range for its lightest shell of 1, 250 kg (...2, 760 lb) was just over 10 km (6.2 mi). Each gun had to be accompanied by a crane, a two-piece heavy transport set of railcars, and several modified tanks to carry shells.Seven guns were built, six of which saw combat between 1941 and 1945. It was used in attacking the Soviet fortresses of Brest-Litovsk and Sevastopol, bombarded Polish resistance fighters in Warsaw, participated in the Battle of the Bulge, and was used to try to destroy the Ludendorff Bridge during the Battle of Remagen. One Karl-Gerät has survived and the remainder were scrapped after the war.This is a great model release from 2004. Accurate detail, diorama base & perspex display case. The cardboard backing has a slight tear in front right hand corner but contents undamaged (just like new). Please also see the pictures provided. Very affordably priced item. If not for you, will make a great present for someone else. I have two of this model by Dragon, both have the same product item code of 20027. They both have slightly different camouflage patterns and background scenery. The one featured in my advertisement has the name painted on the side called "Loki". The name painted on the other one I have is called "Thor", (see the very last photo). LET ME KNOW WHICH ONE YOU WANT BEFORE I POST IT. Note: The 'combined' postage cost for buying up to 2 models (of the type in these perspex cases) in the one parcel is the same as the cost for buying just one item. The reason is that these are light weight items and fall into Australia Post's basic category of less than 500grams in weight. Accordingly you may as well buy more than one at the same time (If so, see point 5 below). Buy this right now, (before someone else does).
