A set of Aber 1:35 turned metal barrels for the armament of the experimental tank MBT-70: a barrel of 152 mm and a barrel of a 20 mm automatic cannon. A detail accessory, not a kit of the vehicle.
Responsibility details are not available.
This detail set from the Polish manufacturer Aber holds turned metal barrels for the armament of the experimental tank MBT-70 in 1:35 scale. In the package you will find the barrel of the main weapon of 152 mm and the barrel of a 20 mm automatic cannon. It is not a kit of the vehicle but an accessory replacing the plastic parts of the base model. The metal form does away with the mold seam, keeps an exact circular section and offers a faithfully rendered muzzle, which in plastic is reached only by laborious drilling.
The MBT-70, in the German designation the Kampfpanzer 70, was a joint American and German project for a main battle tank from the 1960s. The vehicle had an exceptionally low silhouette, hydropneumatic suspension with adjustable ground clearance and the whole crew placed in the turret. The main weapon was a combined system of 152 mm able to launch conventional ammunition and guided missiles alike, and the supplementary armament was a 20 mm automatic cannon. The project proved exceptionally demanding technically and expensive and it was terminated; what was learned from it, however, carried over into the later tanks of both countries.
Glue the metal barrels with cyanoacrylate glue, and on larger mating surfaces with a two-part epoxy. Degrease the parts first with alcohol or isopropyl alcohol and roughen the mating surfaces gently. Lay on an adhesion primer before painting. The short, massive barrel of 152 mm comes out well if you carefully fill and sand the transitions between metal and plastic. Pick out the muzzle only with a restrained sooting.
This is a detail accessory, not a kit. The base model, glue and paints are not included in the package.
