FIGURES

[minitnkr]

JR, they used two part ammo, same as Jagdtiger. Kingkit.co.uk makes them in 1/35. Many seem to have been mounted in static PAK Fronts. PaulE

Hi John I've got this crew if they are any good

[outrunner]

Sorry to hijack your thread John, but does anyone know where I can get a civilian tractor driver in 1/35? or any civilian driver.

A few more figure ideas John,

CREW

CREW1

CREW2

Hi Simon, the 2 nd one is the type of thing I would have gone for. Certainly has the movement and a spotter with field glasses.

That looks good, the kind of set I was looking for but couldn’t find :sad: If you go for this set, John, don’t use the rangefinder guy — as far as I know, that was used for anti-aircraft fire only. Another minor snag is they’re wearing winter clothes, while if this gun has seen action, it would have been in the spring of 1945, when that kind of clothing would have been so last season’s.


Even more interesting, if you ask me, is to put it on a grassy field with a figure in modern (civilian) clothes next to it, and a little sign by the front :smiling3:

Jakko yes the winter clothing unfortunately is the down side on that set.The Russian idea sounds fun .

There are these...

not sure where you’d get them in the UK though....

Hi Tim, I know and the change of getting whacked for import duty puts me off, and are these genuine, or another knock off. I'd seen other sets from there and just don't trust them .

Thanks Steve , I like the street fighting scene. Glad there's no damed camo:nerd::smiling3:

Hi buddy, I've emailed RB models who used to have some ammo sets, will have to wait and see if they bother to reply.

King Kit have some slightly smaller size, 88 unfortunately. Now need to see what the ammo looked like as it seems it may have to be scratched. :crying:

Hi John I've got this crew if they are any good [ATTACH=CONFIG]n1128426[/ATTACH]

Very kind of of you Jim, appreciate the offer. Again churlish as it might sound not the correct figures that I need .:disappointed:

Andy.

No problem Andy, fire away ..

Just seen these from MiniArt

Karl thanks mate, unfortunately not the right type, sorry.




Well thank you all for your kind offers and suggestions.:thumb2: really appreciate the help.
Seems this was going to be problematic from the start, history seem to say that this model never saw active service in this form.

Finding the correct poses has been slow, I know exactly what I need so earlier today I went through my figures parts box (German section ) Found a body and arms to hold some field glasses, a pair of sitting legs ! Top half looking good. Can adapt a couple as loaders .Then comes the second puzzle, the ammo size and the 2 part ammo that Paul mentioned.
More research needed I can see?
Thanks again .

Scalemates shows two sets of ammo for this gun, one in resin and one in turned brass:

https://www.scalemates.com/search.php?fkSECTION%5B%5D=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.

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

US army inspecting the muzzle brake of a pak44. ( according to info online )

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.
