About product

The chassis of the Karl mortar and the second part of the photo-etched set

This follow-on set from the brand Royal Model completes the previous part and concentrates on the lower areas of the German siege mortar of 60 cm caliber: the running gear, the covers and the small fittings. You have to have the plastic model of your own.

How the machine worked

The tracked chassis with a row of road wheels on each side had a single task: to hold the weapon in place and transfer the recoil into the ground. Before firing, the whole structure was lowered to the ground and after the shot it was raised again. The shells weighed roughly two tons and were carried by special vehicles fitted with a crane. Some of the examples were later given a narrower barrel of 54 cm caliber, which reached farther. The combat debut came at Brest on the Bug in 1941. The machine moved to a firing position only over short distances and its speed barely exceeded walking pace. The individual examples also differed from one another, because the manufacturer kept modifying them.

Recommendations for the running gear

Finish and paint the underside before you seat the upper structure on the model; later you will not get to it. Apply pigments and earthy washes on a matte surface, as they adhere better. Leave the tracks a little looser, so that they settle onto the terrain naturally.

Who the set is intended for

  • owners of the first part of the line
  • modelers who like weathering running gear
  • builders of dioramas with an artillery position
  • those interested in German siege equipment

The set is intended to complete a model already bought.

FAQ

Yes. Each can be built separately, but together they cover the model more completely.

So that the enormous recoil would not be transferred into the running gear but spread into the subsoil.

Before the upper structure is fitted, otherwise you will not reach the lower areas with a brush.
