Aber 1:35 – a set of turned barrels for the Soviet JS-7 heavy tank (the version with the short muzzle brake) replaces the plastic 130 mm barrel and the machine gun armament with metal parts.
Responsibility details are not available.
A metal detail set, not a tank kit. It holds a turned 130 mm gun barrel with the short muzzle brake, two barrels for the 14.5 mm heavy machine guns and six barrels for the 7.62 mm machine guns, together with a small photo-etched fret. The parts replace the plastic barrels on a 1:35 JS-7 model. They are made by the Polish company Aber, one of the best-known suppliers of turned metal barrels for military models.
The JS-7 (Object 260) was a Soviet experimental heavy tank designed shortly after the Second World War. It weighed around 68 tons, carried steeply sloped frontal armor and an exceptionally rich machine gun armament, backed by a 130 mm gun derived from a naval weapon. The prototypes went through trials at the turn of the 1940s and 1950s, but the vehicle was never put into production – Soviet heavy tank development went another way. Individual prototypes differed in the shape of the muzzle brake as well; this set matches the version with the short brake, and a separate variant is available for the long brake.
Degrease the metal with alcohol or dish soap before gluing. Use cyanoacrylate glue or two-part epoxy, because plastic cement will not bond metal parts. It is handy to glue the small machine gun barrels on only after the turret has been painted, as they are easier to handle that way. Coat the metal with a primer for metal surfaces and only then with the base shade. Darken the muzzles and the inside of the muzzle brake with an oil paint or a pigment.
This is not a model kit but a detail accessory. The base model, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
