Aber 1:35 88 mm KwK 43/3 L/71 barrel for the Tiger B with the Porsche turret is a two-piece turned metal barrel from the Polish maker Aber for models of the German Tiger B heavy tank in 1:35 scale.
Responsibility details are not available.
A turned metal barrel in 1:35 scale in a two-piece form, not a standalone model. It replaces the plastic barrel of the 88 mm KwK 43/3 L/71 gun in the late form for the Tiger B heavy tank with the so-called Porsche turret. Splitting the barrel into two parts makes fitting it into the mantlet easier and allows the axis and the drilled muzzle to be held exactly.
The Tiger B, also known as the Königstiger, was the heaviest German tank to see series service in the Second World War. It carried the long 88 mm KwK 43 gun with a barrel 71 calibers long, which was among the most effective anti-tank weapons of its day. The first vehicles built were given a turret with a markedly curved front face, commonly called the Porsche turret; later examples had a turret with a flat front plate.
The turned metal part is fitted in place of the plastic barrel from the box. The hole in the gun mantlet sometimes has to be opened out carefully with a drill so that the barrel sits without play and exactly on the axis. Glue the metal with cyanoacrylate glue, as plastic cement does not hold on brass. Degrease the surface before painting and go over it with a base coat, otherwise the paint holds badly on smooth metal. Pick out the muzzle with a dark wash and a light touch of a dry brush.
This is a detail accessory, not a standalone model. The base kit, glue and paints are not included in the package.
