What's the shiny bit on the barrel?  It looks like the barrel is a part metal casting - is it?

Edit - forgot to say it's looking amazing!

Have I got this right? This Dora kit I found is 5 meters long, or at least the box is?

Nice kits those Poliss      seen   more than one built up   and they are huge        

How are  you  going  with the paint  Al   as i  might  know of   a source  if   its in short supply  in the   country.

The lack of Tamiya spray paint has put mist of my WWII models on hold. I'd kill for a few cans of drab olive...

Dora is sat on the sheft collecting dust. However in the meantime, I've been building up my collection of KingLoks. I'll get a few pics taken over the weekend.

Could be a challenge, but I think I'll stick to my German stuff...

Hi  Al,    

Try  antics  online  it cant be ordered off  the  website but check  your  local   branch.    

http://www.anticsonline.co.uk/x1272_1.html

Hannants hold  large stocks of  Tamiya products  not  sure if  they  have it in  though.

Saw this  film  of  the  ''Dora''  firing  to  give  an  idea of scale  when  it  was  used.
