The turned one-piece Aber 1:35 barrel of 8.8 cm Pak 43/3 L/71 caliber is a metal replacement for the plastic barrel of a model of the Jagdpanther tank destroyer in the G1 early production version. It is an accessory, not a model.
Responsibility details are not available.
A metal barrel in 1:35 from the Polish firm Aber, machined in one piece. It is not a kit: it is a replacement component for a model of the German Jagdpanther tank destroyer in the G1 early production version. A plastic barrel of that length almost always warps slightly in the mold, carries a parting line over its whole length and has a muzzle that is only suggested. Machined metal is perfectly straight and circular and has a really drilled muzzle, so the model gains exactly where the eye falls on it first.
The Jagdpanther was a German tank destroyer on the chassis of the Panther tank. It carried a gun of 8.8 cm caliber with a barrel length of 71 calibers in a low, heavily sloped hull with no rotating turret, so the machine had a low silhouette and good frontal protection, but it aimed by turning the whole vehicle. The early vehicles of the G1 version had the barrel made in one piece; only on the later batches was a divided version adopted, which allowed a worn front section to be replaced separately.
Check which version you are building, as the one-piece barrel belongs on the early G1. Cut the plastic barrel off at the mantlet, clean the hole out carefully with a drill bit and keep trying the metal part dry until it seats without pressure and points straight. It is glued with super glue a drop at a time. Degrease the metal and paint over a primer for metal; fit the barrel only at the end of the build.
This is an accessory, not a standalone model. The base kit, glue and paints are not included in the package.
