Hobby Boss 1/72 German Rail Transporter for Karl-Geraet: Accurate Wartime Transport in Scale

The Hobby Boss 1/72 German Rail Transporter for Karl-Geraet recreates the special railway equipment devised to move heavy artillery during the Second World War. The kit emphasises the engineering required to handle the Geraet 040 on rails.

Context and Model Accuracy

Plans began in late 1939 to address the transport needs of the Geraet 040, which demanded a bespoke rail carriage layout. This model shows the paired five-axle trucks and the hydraulic suspension elements that allowed the artillery to be carried and stabilised.

Assembly and Finishing Tips

With 245 finely moulded parts across nine sprues, builders will find an involved assembly that rewards patience. Model dimensions are 313.6mm long, 48.3mm wide and 55mm high, and the recommended finish is a field grey scheme that suits museum-style displays.
