I reported on this piece very briefly some time ago as part of a post on the company's new Reichsbahn series, depicting elements of the huge railway network responsible for moving men and materiel throughout the Reich during the years of the Nazi regime
Figarti have been around in earnest since the early noughties and have managed to carve out a reputation for producing finely detailed, often very intricate, models many of which depict slightly more unusual subjects, and some of which are quite large. Nothing, however, quite as large as this
Actually, that's not quite true, because they also make this

Now that really is a BIG GUN!
Anyway, you get the picture. This model is very large, so you will need a fair amount of space to display it in. You will also need a fair bit of folding money, something in the region of £330, but you get a whole lotta bang for your buck with this model [ouch!]
The real thing, the Karl-Gerat [Karl Morser] was an impressive piece of German artillery and although I haven't been blessed with the opportunity to see it in the flesh just yet, if the photos in TSC and elsewhere are anything to go by then the model is going to be just as spectacular
As you can see from the above photo the model is intricately detailed and comes with rails running around the outside, tools to mount on the front, a number of moving parts and three crew figures
Figarti will also be producing a set of two additional crew figures, the rail transporter for the mortar, and the shell loader, all pictured below
