                        If so, Hasegawa makes a Flak88 in 1/72nd scale. Being a dedicated kit unto itself, it probably has more details than  the gun  included in the  Uboat  kit.  But,  it has more parts than used by the Uboat version.

                        Noooooooo!  

                        The only thing the U-boat/Naval 88mm gun had in common with the Flak 88 was the caliber of the shell.  The shell casings were entirely different as were the mounts.

                           Are you sure?

                            I did  a search for 1/72nd guns, and found two for the u-boat kit...  though I am not sure about the use of them for the main deck gun...

                        Doesn't White Ensign make an aftermarket deck gun?  Might be easier to find...

                                    Luck!

                        Hello folks, post just about says it all. I'm working on a little project and don't need the boat, just the deck gun. Anyone building this kit and not going to use the deck gun please get in touch with me? Also if you are using an aftermarket deck maybe we could discuss a deal on the kit deck? Thanks for any help.
