JP Hobby: Conversion Set for Dragon 1/35 Kits

JP35009 60cm Moerser "Karl" Geraet 040 - early chassis
(Released in June 2003)

This conversion set turns the 11 wheel chassis in Dragon's kits into an 8 wheel chassis. Road wheels are correctly positioned in asymmetrical manner on both sides. Parts are cleanly casted, and little flush is found. There are no visible bubbles. Although some small details are omitted, parts are in good shape overall.

The biggest problem with this set is that it requires drive sprocket wheels, idler wheels, and tracks from the original kit. These items on the real 8 wheel chassis are totally different from the ones on the 11 wheel chassis (some photos show the same idler wheel was used on both types of chassis at some point during the war, though...). As wheels and tracks are probably ones of the most challenging items when scratch-building tanks, the lack of correct wheels and tracks in this set may make it less appealing.

After Trumpeter released an 8 wheel chassis Karl kit (00208), the value of this conversion kit was further reduced...

Tank Workshop: Update parts for Trumpeter 1/35 kits

TWS2007 Morser Karl-Gerat Inserts

TWS2007 Morser Karl-Gerat Inserts
(Released in January 2007)

This is a simple update set to add details on the reverse side of road wheels in Trumpeter's 1/35 late chassis kits (#209, #215). Note that these details are visible only if the kit is built as the Automotive mode. For the Operation mode and the Railway Transport mode, these parts are not necessary because the reverse side of the road wheels is totally obscured.
