Not however the "largest" gun in the world.

The German V3 held that distinction at the time, I believe.

Finishd or not - it was tested - aka fired - which makes it a gun.

Here's a 1/72 scale one to go with your Type VII u-boat. Much cheaper and many less parts.

For $800 it'd better be capable of actually firing scale artillery rounds.

A local hobby shop had one of them in stock awhile back ,the box was freakin massive ,they had to stand it on end so it didn't take up too much room - the wife wouldn't let me have it ,something about not enough room
