About product

Krupp 420mm Big Bertha 1:35 (Takom)

Injection-molded plastic kit of the German 420 mm siege mortar nicknamed Big Bertha, in 1:35 scale from Takom. It is a large kit in gray plastic; a metal chain for the railing is usually included in the box as well. The model allows the barrel to be elevated and includes a split carriage, a shield, platforms and a crane.

The real subject

Big Bertha was a German super-heavy 420 mm mortar developed by the Krupp works before the First World War. Weighing around 43 tonnes, the weapon was first used in 1914 during the advance through Belgium and became famous for destroying fortified works.

Building and painting tips

Before closing up the assemblies, check the fit of the split barrel and of the elevating mechanism. Liquid cement for plastic, a base coat of primer and spraying with an airbrush are recommended. The bulky surfaces of the carriage and the platforms come out well after washes and pigments have been applied for dust and mud effects.

Who the model is for

  • For modelers of artillery and of First World War equipment.
  • For collectors of large, striking kits for the display case.
  • For builders of dioramas with siege equipment.

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
