1/35 German 128mm Pak44 (Krupp)
Trumpeter 1/35 German 128mm Pak44 (Krupp) is a plastic kit of the German heavy anti-tank gun. It contains 270 parts, photo-etch and a metal barrel. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
The 12.8 cm Pak 44 was a German heavy anti-tank gun of World War II. According to the manufacturer, it was designed as a result of experience on the Eastern Front in 1943, where the German army had encountered Soviet 122 mm guns. Development initially focused on a field gun known as the K 44, but once heavier Soviet tanks such as the IS-2 appeared, the requirements were extended to include an anti-armour role. The Krupp design is recognisable by its cruciform carriage.
According to the manufacturer, the new-tool Trumpeter kit consists of 270 parts on 10 sprues, 4 rubber tyres and 47 photo-etched parts. A metal gun barrel and four copper tubes are included as a bonus. The model can be built in firing position with the cruciform carriage deployed or in travelling position on its wheels; it measures nearly 12.5 inches, or around 315 mm, when complete.
The detailed sight, breech, riveted gun shield and carriage jack stand out in 1/35 scale even without a crew; with added figures the gun can become the centrepiece of a late-war scene. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
