Recently a ran a report on a series of releases for August 2011 from Trumpeter. Amongst them, was this, the 12.8CM PAK 44 Waffentrager. Now, as a COMPLETE Photo-Report, we can bring you images of the Sprues and the completed model.
5523 - German 12.8 cm Pak 44 Waffentrager Krupp 1 Weapons Carrier

(PARTIAL NEW TOOLING) This is a WWII German weapons carrier based on the Pzkpfw 38 and includes the 128mm gun. It is questionable whether this variant actually made it into production and on to the battlefield before the end ofthe war. Kit consists of over 1080 parts on 9 sprues including 270 individual tracklinks and photo-etched parts.

Our thanks, to our colleagues at Trumpeter, for the Update!

Is this a paper Panzer as I have no knowledge of this vehicle? It is good to see Trumpeter including individual track links with this kit which also look to be workable, however as some struggle with these track types do you know if they have included rubber band tracks with he kit?

I don't like paper panzers that much but this looks freakin' awesome! Very interesting looking tracks - I hope that trumpeter finally will come up with something equal to dragons magic tracks...

Artistic licence on the part of the peron who did the box-art? Since this is to all intents and purposes a HYPOTHETICAL vehicle, maybe they had (hypothetical) one-piece Pzgr43 rounds as well?

Excellent response Gaoyue/Trumpeter. Wish other companies would take note of such feedback before release. Any further information on the tracks ... will they be workable or semi-workable? Ive never been a fan of paper panzers (or even late panzers), but this is one that always looked cool. Never dreamed one would be available in injected plastic.

Dear FRANK,It include the workable tracks.

Hi Gaoyue. Do you have plans to release the similar Wafentrager mounting the 8.8 cm Pak 43? Some 20 were built and probably used during the final days of the war.
