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

I was so excited, until I found out the model wasn't of Dora the Explorer.

It's a big model and pricey too

I still have my 1/72 scale Gato Sub to build, I have acquired 2 1/72 Val Dive Bombers to go with it and am now just looking for 1/72 WW2 era US sub crew models to man it.

Just ordered the Airfix 1/24 scale Mosquito, I am just glad that I have an understanding wife and a Man Cave out the back to build them in

Cheers

But...but...but... I thought size didn't matter . On the other hand it IS an artillery piece ...

Size doesn't matter when you're on the recieving end. Hand grenade or 7-ton shell, you're just as dead.

Of course the 7-ton shell doesn't have to land within a few feet to do the job...
