For future reference, if you go to www.scalemates.com and search for your subject (in this case I tried 12.8cm) you will get a list of kits and accessories that you can follow on to find reviews and suppliers, and more kits and accessories. It's very useful.

Alliance Model Works makes turned brass ammo for the Pak 44. You can find it here:

Cool ,
Thanks .
I keep finding Pak 40 and have a set ( Aber ) on back-order ,
But I'm trying to figure out if there is any dimensional difference in the casing length.
If they are the same except for the powder charge , then I'm good .
I don't think the small differences in the shot weight would at all be noticeable @ 1/35

Thanks again for the link

Keep in mind that if you are using them late in the war, there was a lot of material shortages and you probably wouldn't find these in brass. That means you'll probably have to paint them a steel color.

??? The PaK 40 (a 75mm gun) used substantially smaller cartridges than the 128mm guns, in all dimensions. I also think the larger gun used semi-fixed ammunition rather than the fixed cartridges of the Pak 40. You should probably look for information on the ammunition sizes.

They refer to the Sturer Emil's 12.8 as Pak 40
Under variants : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12.8_cm_FlaK_40
I'm thinking it is a physically smaller casing
I believe the " 40 " is the year developed ...
The Pak 44 was indeed separated ammo

If you zoom in on the Aber decal sheet there -- it looks like it says " 12.8 " X " 40 , not " K "
I have the exact dimensions and weights for Pak 44 ammo
I need the #'s for the Emil's ammo

It'll all work out ..
