If you haven't seen it yet, Gerhard Taube's book Deutsche Eisenbahngeschutze is very nice. About 100 pages are devoted to the Dora, most of which have several photographs. Printed on nice glossy stock too. Text is in German only. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many years back, JJ Fedorowicz did a book on the Dora, but I've never managed to get my hands on one. Lewis Pruneau (now deceased) used the book as a primary reference when he scratch-built his 1:35 Dora. Rockie Yarwood 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Mike Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Lewis Pruneau passed? What a talent. He scratchbuilt a 1/32 B 52 and did some epic dioramas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have gone a little too far this time - my daughter is threatening an intervention... Thankfully the parts are packaged in several smaller boxes, so it won't have to stay in the living room. Cheers, Rockie FYI - The largest remaining part of the Dora gun is here: This are the two last remaining railway wagons of the Dora train. Two formerly climatized cartridge handling wagons. The gunpowder load was tempered to achieve consistent ballistic results when shooting. Both wagos had a crane rail at the ceiling that could be connecteted to other wagons and to the gun to move cartriges and projectiles ahead. The wagons served after the war as repair train wagons for the Czech railway. Now located in Czech Republic army museum at Lesany.

Yep, quite some time back, Mike. I saw the B-52 at a contest here, along with many others of his over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutik Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 I have fulfilled a desire and ordered a fistful of Reskit sets as well as other AM stuff: Just to be prepared for more "Out of Afrika" GB builds.

LSP_K2 Posted September 26, 2022 Author Share Posted September 26, 2022 A recent addition to my stash. I've always liked the F-80, and this series from Osprey is really quite nice. Rockie Yarwood and coogrfan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockie Yarwood Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Nice haul, Kevin. I'd love to spend a couple of days perusing your library . Any reviews in the works? Curious about the AC of Red Flag book. Cheers, Rockie LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any reviews in the works? Curious about the AC of Red Flag book. Cheers, Rockie It's pretty extensive, I'll say that. I'm presently trying to wrap up Pacific Profiles 8 (Japanese Floatplanes), and hope to finish it this week sometime. Then I'll jump on these four. The Red Flag book is just tons of great color photos, wall to wall. The RAF book weighs a whopping 3 pounds, 11 ounces, just huge.

Pete Fleischmann Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Gonna knock this figure out for my son who’s heading for Ranger School in February…and then perhaps SF the book was required reading after receiving my massive Model Monkey Beaufighter update! cheers Pigfyter TankBuster, LSP_K2, scvrobeson and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zola25 Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 I finally got my hands on this much sought after Wolfpack set - I got carried away when I saw it on eBay and paid a crazy price for it, but now I can finally get going on a project I have long desired to do.. And have some leftover AAM-3 missiles for my F-15DJ project Niels coogrfan, Hrvoje, TankBuster and 11 others 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
