Look at the 128mm anti-aircraft gun next to it. That looks really nice.

Nice, I also have a Wurzburg Riese (from Schatton) but that thing is also "Riesengross" Now we have the gun laying radars to accompany the AA batteries.

That 12.8cm Flak really catches my eye. My grandfather was a ball turret gunner on a B-17G from very late '44 until war's end. He told me all about "88's" but they were really afraid of the "105's" (10.5cm). He included that around major targets they had "something even bigger" but never specified. I've always assumed it to be this.

Maybe in a later kit ....
Some want the trailer and some want only the gun for a diorama and don't want to spend $$ on the trailer parts.
That 4-axle trailer is a large kit in itself ...

Pretty sure he meant a trailer for the radar.
