    I’ve got a couple of Flak 88s to build as diorama pieces and would like to have a reasonable amount of those 3 round wicker ammo boxes on the bases . Anyone know of any aftermarket  resin or pewter ones out there ?

    I was going to say that if you could get one of wicker ammo boxes from a Rubicon Models 88 kit, you could reproduce this by making a “modellers mold”. However, the link SteveT give us above might even be an easier and faster solution.

    I have both the Rubicon and Italeri/Warlord kits .  Rubicon’s ammo boxes are not to scale or even look the part I’m afraid . The I/W gives you 2 boxes , and although I have cast my own pieces before , lately my results have been less than favorable  edging towards disaster  . I really don’t want to risk it . I think the Shapeways ones might do the trick . Now to find some resin / pewter 25 pounder ammo boxes to hang on my Brit tanks
