The Soar Art 1/35 Dora Railway Gun Plastic Model Kit is an extraordinary large-scale military model designed for experienced builders and collectors seeking one of the most impressive artillery models ever produced. Recreating the famous Dora Railway Gun (Schwerer Gustav) in stunning 1/35 scale, this kit captures the immense size and engineering complexity of one of history's most iconic railway artillery weapons.

Containing over 2,500 precision-moulded plastic parts, the Dora Railway Gun provides an incredibly rewarding building experience. The kit accurately reproduces the massive gun barrel, detailed gun carriage, railway mounting system, support structures and rail sections, resulting in an impressive finished model measuring approximately 1.42 metres long.

Designed for advanced modellers, the kit features highly detailed individual components throughout, allowing builders to recreate the intricate engineering of the original weapon. The inclusion of realistic railway track sections and the enormous superstructure makes this model an outstanding centrepiece for military collections, museum-quality displays and historical dioramas.

The original Dora Railway Gun, also known as Schwerer Gustav, was developed in Germany during the late 1930s and remains the largest calibre rifled weapon ever used in combat. Built to destroy heavily fortified positions, it required more than 1,400 personnel to operate and famously saw action during the Siege of Sevastopol in 1942. Building this remarkable kit offers enthusiasts the opportunity to appreciate one of the most ambitious engineering achievements of World War II military history.

Whether displayed on its own or incorporated into a large-scale railway diorama, the Soar Art Dora Railway Gun delivers an unforgettable modelling experience. At Campbelltown Hobbies, this exceptional kit is perfect for experienced military modellers looking to build one of the largest and most detailed artillery models available.
