This is it!



From Mission Models, a 1/35 scale kit of the 80cm rail gun Dora.
The finished model is over 53 inches long, 8 inches wide, and 13 inches tall and weighs 57 pounds. The barrel is over 26 inches long. The kit has over 2500 parts. And yes, you can buy an aluminum barrel for it.

I need to get it soon, because it will take me the rest of my natural life to build it.
Holy Krupp, Batman! That's one hell of a model!

But of course, like all things, you can't compare to the Yamato. And in this case, I'm referring to the 1:10 scale Yamato model at the Yamato Museum in Kure, Japan:

Now *that* is a career!
