In time these were to emerge as the K5(E) and K12(E).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    The Leopold had an unconfirmed range of 11 miles. It is fired from a turntable affording a 360 degree traverse. The gun consists of two hydro pneumatic cylinders and a single hydraulic buffer cylinder. A central jack helps support the tremendous weight of the gun and carriage. The German Leopold Gun was the largest weapon, which lobbed shells at American troops at “ Anzio Beach ”. When not firing, the gun was rolled back into the tunnels out of the sight of Allied reconnaissance. Although both guns had been extensively damaged, Allied forces were able to salvage the Leopold and after reconstruction of the railway, moved the gun to Naples for shipment to the United States . The Leopold is currently on display at the Aberdeen Proving Ground in Aberdeen , Maryland.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eParament\u003cbr\u003eItem No    82903\u003cbr\u003eItem Name    German 280mm K5(E) Railway Gun Leopold\u003cbr\u003eBar Code    6939319229038\u003cbr\u003eScale    1:72\u003cbr\u003eItem Type    Static kit\u003cbr\u003eModel Dimension    Length: 445mm   Width: 46.8mm   Height:73.2mm\u003cbr\u003eTotal Plastic Parts    316pcs\u003cbr\u003eTotal Sprues    11 sprues\u003cbr\u003eCamouflage Scheme    Available in Reichsbahn grey, sand\/brown, or sand camouflage\u003cbr\u003eMore Features There are 316 parts in light grey plastic, in 500mm length railway track for model display\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hobby Boss","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49491472777501,"sku":"HBO-82903","price":91.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0059\/3212\/2200\/files\/HBO-82903_1.png?v=1768966302","url":"https:\/\/ironhorsehobbies.co.nz\/products\/hobby-boss-82903-1-72-german-280mm-k5e-railway-gun-leopold","provider":"Ironhorse Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
