Product Description
Dragon's 1/35 scale Leopard is back for the first time in six years!
[About the actual car]
The Leopold was one of the Krupp K5 railway guns used by the German army during World War II.
The Krupp K5 railway gun was manufactured by the Krupp company in 25 units between 1934 and 1945.
The huge 28cm caliber gun had a barrel length of 21.5m and a maximum range of 64km.
The gun barrel was designed for rail transport, mounted on a gondola mounted between two bogies, and deployed across the European rail network.
In February 1944, two vehicles, named Roberto and Leopold, were sent to Italy, where they served against the Allied forces that began their landing at Anzio, Italy.
The massive shells shattered the Allied bridgehead, surprising the Allied soldiers engaged in the operation.
The two vehicles were then captured by the Allied forces in June 1944 and shipped to the United States for restoration.
It was exhibited at a museum and its appearance was burned into the eyes of many people.
