Ok...I get the feeling I get to start this off this month. If not, school me...
I got my April Squadron flyer some time last week (it was in the mailbox when I got back today). I normally don't do 1/144, so I hpe Trumpeter will do that 80cm "Dora" railway gun in 1/35 someday.

Google them, they offer a very nice looking 1/144 Yamato. Hopefully the 80cm Super Heavy Railroad Gun will be as nifty.
I am curious as to the interconnects for the two sets of railway carriages - clearly there has to be some give here, given that the only traverse method was to put a radii in the tracks, which would mean there had to be some method to allow the railway carriages to "slip" due to the different radii, yet still hold the two primary bridges (the ones that have the trunions) parallel.
I am not aware of any Krupp documents that survived that discuss this area. For that matter, I think the whole model is built off of some rather poor photos. Not that that will stop me, of course...

Actually, I thought it was from Fujimi...what I was saying is that I'd LIKE to see one from Trumpeter in 1/35.
Chuck started one last Friday.
Figured I was a late bloomer...but I was gone for a week - might have got it last Friday...;)
heres the link to the 1/144 Yamato
