K5E Rail Gun Plans

[Indianna500]

Hi,

Apologies if these are around, I had a look thru as well as a search , but nothing came back.

I have am illustration commission for a K5E Rail Gun, one of those big monsters from WW2 trouble is I have the side view but very little ref for the top down view.
Can anyone out there help?

I know there were a few kits made for it but dont have the time to find one and build it as well as doing the work before the deadline

would love scans of the model instructions if possible.

Here is a photo to jog memories



Thanks for your time.

Did you build the thumbnail?, great looking model, luckily for me I dont have to do it too that fine detail level

It is not my model of K5E, but I like it!

I know 2 books in topic.

PS 28.0 cm Kanone K5 (E) = considered one of the best railway guns ever designed with a calibre of 282mm. It had a gun measuring 21539mm. Some 28 made.
