 One of the first trials. On this kit, trials were inevitable, as to verify that the whole train could support the heavy Mörser kit, over 2 kg. |
|
 The front boogie with all its details. |
 The wagons prior to painting. As one can see almost, nothing has been added. |
 One of the arms on which the Mörser was fixed. Raising was achieved using hydraulic jacks. That part alone weighted 29 tons. |
 The mount receiving the hydraulic jacks. This was a mobile part and thus enabled the convoy to turn in the curves. |
 |
 The complete train measures over 85cm, and is impressive regarding the number of details it offers the viewer. |
 One can see the towing bar on the No.1 side. These were only used when the mortar was on fire position. |
 Looking from the side, the carriages are not very impressive, but in real life, they weighted no less than 36 tons. The jack are on rest position, CMK didn't provide any options regarding these parts. |
|
|
 The two wagons have been painted and already show a considerably weathered paint effect. |
 The carriage with the connecting bars was usually the wagon No.1. The wagon No.2 will tow the Panzermunition. |
 The arms revealed all their details once the dry-brush was applied. Numerous rivets appear here and there. |
