AFV Club 35098 German 88mm L/71 Shell brass and aluminium 1/35

AFV Club 35098 German 88mm L/71 Shell is a unique 1/35 scale model ammunition set, perfect as an addition to dioramas and models of German anti-tank guns from World War II. This product is dedicated to advanced modelers who wish to faithfully reproduce the equipment details used by the German army in key battles from 1939 to 1945.

The set includes precisely replicated 88mm shell casings and rounds for the KwK 43 L/71 gun, mainly used in the legendary Panther Ausf. G and Tiger II (Königstiger) tanks, as well as in the Ferdinand/Elefant self-propelled anti-tank guns. The kit faithfully reproduces the proportions and details of the ammunition, greatly enhancing the realism of any model or historical diorama scene.

This type of ammunition was used in the late phase of World War II (1943–1945). The German 88mm L/71 gun entered service to effectively counter the newest Allied tanks, showing extraordinary effectiveness on the battlefields of Normandy, the Ardennes, and during operations on both the Eastern and Western Fronts. This type of ammunition represented the firepower of the German armored forces and often decided the outcome in confrontations with Shermans, T-34s, or Churchills.
