This is another "gotta have" even if the gun never really say mass service use.

I warmly hope Trumpeter will have the good idea to use the bogies for a 8.8cm Pak 43 "early". And they could correct the folding legs ( along other fails )
Not my preferred gun, but to mention that some were used in Normandy as it is possible to find the ammo box.

This is such a cool gun and it's great to have an offering in plastic now! I didn't even try to build the resin kits of the past. I really hope the fitting dimensions of this kit are correct. Someone should be along with a metal barrel and muzzle, feeding clips, ammunition, boxes and gun, carriage and mount details. I know a few were used in Normandy and there were a couple along the Rhine that fired on Allied vehicles crossing. I believe the ones on the Rhine were static in open concrete emplacements.
