Hobby Boss 1/72 German Rail Transporter for Karl-Geraet: Scale Representation of Heavy Gun Transport

The Hobby Boss 1/72 German Rail Transporter for Karl-Geraet kit captures the specialised rail equipment used to move very large wartime guns. It concentrates on the solutions implemented to transport the Geraet 040 across rail networks.

Historical Development and Fidelity

Late 1939 initiatives produced dedicated transport carriages to cope with the Geraet 040's size and mass. The model mirrors the dual five-axle carriage arrangement and the suspension systems that were integral to moving such weaponry.

This kit comprises 245 precise plastic parts on nine sprues, creating a notable model 313.6mm in length, 48.3mm across and 55mm high. Painting in a field grey finish and subtle weathering are recommended to enhance realism.
