88mm round (8.8cm)

[Salad Fingers]

Hi, I recently built 1/35 scale models of the German Tiger tank which was fitted with the 88mm gun, and a model of the German 88mm Flak 36 gun. I'm looking to buy a full size 88mm round to put on display to give a sense of the relatively large size of these rounds. Can anyone on this give me advice on where I can get a good replica or if anyone on the forums would recommend a seller of real inert 88mm rounds ?

Thanks!

Would you be interested in this one? Flak 8,8 projectile, brass body, topped with a Zeitzünder S/30.
I live in Ireland and have not sent anything like this to the UK before so am not sure if there might be issues with customs etc.

Nice round, nice bit of kit, been after one myself for talks about what the RAF had to encounter on a bomb run. Had a chance to buy the projectile years ago when Ben at the War and Peace show had loads of mint rounds from Finland where all the steel cases came from.
