KARL-Gerat History:
“Karl-Gerät” (040/041) (German literally “Karl-device”), also known as Mörser Karl, was a World War II German self-propelled siege mortar (Mörser) designed and built by Rheinmetall. Its heaviest munition was a 60 cm (24 in) diameter, 2,170 kg (4,780 lb) shell, and the range for its lightest shell of 1,250 kg (2,760 lb) was just over 10 km (6.2 mi). Each gun had to be accompanied by a crane, a two-piece heavy transport set of railcars, and several modified tanks to carry shells.
Seven guns were built, six of which saw combat between 1941 and 1945. It was used in attacking the Soviet fortresses of Brest-Litovsk and Sevastopol, bombarded Polish resistance fighters in Warsaw, participated in the Battle of the Bulge, and was used to try to destroy the Ludendorff Bridge during the Battle of Remagen. One Karl-Gerät has survived and the remainder were scrapped after the war.

I purchased this set before I knew Warbricks existed and would match prices. It was a fun set to construct. I like Cobi’s larger sets, that they pad print, make many custom pieces, and design realistic models. It would be great if Cobi would make the railway guns of both the world wars.

Finally made some time to build the “Ziu”. It will display nicely next to my other monster war machines; TOG 2, Maus, and E-100. Get one before they are gone.

I am happy I purchased this set and would recommend it to anyone interested in the machines of World War 2. This set is fun to build, highly detailed, and historically accurate.
