This is not a kit but a replacement part. A precisely turned metal 7.5 cm gun barrel with a single-baffle muzzle brake replaces the plastic barrel on a model of the German Tiger tank in the Ausf. H2 version in 1:35 scale. The manufacturer is the Polish company Aber, which has long worked with turned barrels and photo-etched accessories. Replacing plastic with metal removes the parting seam left by the mold and gives the barrel a perfectly circular section and the correct axis. It is based on the dimensions of the Dragon kit.
The designation Ausf. H2 relates to a project variant of the Tiger heavy tank that was to carry a 7.5 cm gun in a different turret. Production Tiger Is were armed with an 8.8 cm gun; the variant with the 7.5 cm gun remained at the project stage and never went into production. Models of this type therefore belong among the so-called paper projects, which have their own following among modelers. A single-baffle muzzle brake matches the earlier form of the long German 7.5 cm guns.
Cut the plastic barrel off with a saw and square the face of the stub so that the metal part seats square, because any deviation is conspicuous on the finished model, since the eye compares the barrel with the outline of the turret. Glue the metal with cyanoacrylate glue; the joint is stronger if you roughen the mating surface slightly. Apply primer to the metal before painting, because without it the paint slides and rubs off exactly at the muzzle, which is where people hold it most often. The muzzle of the gun is a rewarding place for weathering: gentle darkening and traces of propellant around the muzzle brake bring the model to life, but lay them on sparingly and in thin coats.
The accessory is supplied unassembled and unpainted. The Dragon base kit, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
