An Aber 1:35 turned metal barrel for the German 88 mm PaK 43 anti-tank gun on the Waffenträger chassis. A detail accessory for replacing the plastic barrel, not a kit of the vehicle.
Responsibility details are not available.
This detail set from the Polish manufacturer Aber brings an accurate turned metal barrel of the German 88 mm PaK 43 anti-tank gun in the form used on the self-propelled weapon carrier Waffenträger, in 1:35 scale. It is not a kit of the vehicle but an accessory replacing the plastic part. Turned metal has no mold seam, keeps an exact taper and offers a faithfully rendered muzzle and muzzle brake, whose shape is among the most conspicuous details of this gun.
The Waffenträger, literally the weapon carrier, was at the close of the Second World War a concept for a light self-propelled chassis on which a heavy anti-tank gun could be moved quickly and cheaply. Several competing designs came about, among others from the firms Ardelt and Rheinmetall-Borsig, and it stayed at prototypes and only a very small series. The basis of the armament was the 88 mm PaK 43 gun with its long barrel, one of the most effective anti-tank weapons of its day, used on other German vehicles and in the towed version as well.
Glue the metal barrel with cyanoacrylate glue, and on larger mating surfaces a two-part epoxy helps. Degrease the parts with alcohol or isopropyl alcohol and roughen the surfaces gently. Paint only after an adhesion primer, or the paint rubs off smooth metal. A long barrel tends to be the most exposed part on a model, so finish it carefully and spray in thin coats; pick out the muzzle and the muzzle brake with a gentle sooting with pigment.
This is a detail accessory, not a kit. The base model, glue and paints are not included in the package.
