12.8cm PaK 40 L/61 ammunition

RB Kit # 72P10

In this set you get 6 (hollow) cartridges and 12 separate projectiles of two types.

The ammo in this set can, as far as I know, only be used for the 12.8 cm Selbstfahrlafette auf VK30.01(H) "Sturer Emil", of which only two vehicles were built.
Perhaps it can also be used for the 12.8 cm FlaK 40, but I cannot confirm this. As even this Flak gun was built in limited numbers, the scope of this set is thus very limited.

I have no info whatsoever about the ammunition for this gun, which means that the only measurement I can make is the caliber, which seems to be closer to 1/76, which isn't too visible, I guess.
(According to my references the other 12.8cm guns in the German inventory used different ammo.)
