Now need to see what the ammo looked like as it seems it may have to be scratched. :crying:

Scalemates shows two sets of ammo for this gun, one in resin and one in turned brass:
https://www.scalemates.com/search.php?fkSECTION[]=Kits&q=12.8+cm+PaK+44
I haven’t checked if either is still available anywhere, though.

It also lists a few sets for the 12,8 cm FlaK 40 but that used a different cartridge case (9 cm longer, or about 2.5 mm in 1:35), so those would not be suitable.

Seems this was going to be problematic from the start, history seem to say that this model never saw active service in this form.

41 did , just where they were , most things i can find say Europe

I'll take a bet that the reason there are few photos are that by that time the German army had stopped taking the photos they did for propaganda etc , and these devices were being installed hastily in best defensive positions, not offensive.
