1:35 German 75mm barrel for Kwk 40 L/48 with middle model muzzle brake

Turned Metal 75 mm KwK 40 L/48 Barrel with the Middle Muzzle Brake – Aber, 1:35

The precisely turned metal barrel with a detailed middle (two-chamber) muzzle brake replaces the plastic barrel of the base model. It offers a concentric tube with no mold seams, the correct taper and a clean muzzle. It is a detail accessory, not a vehicle kit. Manufacturer Aber, 1:35 scale.

The real subject

The 7.5 cm KwK 40 L/48 was a powerful German tank gun of the Second World War, carried by the late versions of the Pz.Kpfw. IV and by StuG assault guns. The version with the middle muzzle brake represents one of the barrel ends used during the war. A faithful barrel with its brake completes the look of the turret or the casemate.

Use and fitting

• Cut off the plastic barrel and clean up the seat in the mantlet.
• Bond the metal parts with super glue.
• Degrease and prime with a metal primer before painting.

Who the set is for

• Builders of late German armor in 1:35.
• Modelers who want an accurate middle muzzle brake.
• Collectors of Wehrmacht vehicles.

This is an accessory (a metal gun barrel), not a stand-alone model. The base kit, glue and paints are not included in the package.
