A metal barrel 75 mm StuK 40 L/48 with a Saukopf mantlet, pattern 3 from Voyager Model in 1:35 scale is an add-on set for a plastic kit you already own, not a model. A turned piece gives the barrel a shape that is hard to reach on plastic.
Responsibility details are not available.
An add-on set for a plastic kit of the German StuG III Ausf.G assault gun of late production in 1:35 scale. It is not a model of the vehicle; the contents are a metal barrel part meant to be swapped for the plastic barrel from the base kit. Pattern 3 rounds out the line of variants the manufacturer offers for this subject.
The StuG III Ausf.G was armed with a 75 mm StuK 40 gun with a barrel 48 calibers long. The cast streamlined shielding of the barrel, known as the Saukopf, was used on late vehicles alongside the older welded mantlet, so both solutions can be met even on machines from the same period.
Metal behaves differently from plastic and forgives less. Wash the part in spirit first, in order to remove residues of cutting fluid and fingerprints, and handle it from then on through a cloth or a glove. Then comes a thin base for metal — without it the paint holds only until the first touch. Spray the covering shade in several thin layers, so that the fine edges do not get filled. A metal barrel has an advantage in weathering too: scorching at the muzzle and wear can be suggested with graphite or dark metallic pigment straight onto the paint, and any excess can be wiped off without harming the plastic.
The finished part is heavier than a plastic one, so cure the joint with the mantlet properly and do not handle the model for a while after gluing. Store the set so that the barrel does not lie under other parts.
The set is an accessory for a plastic kit, which is not part of the package. Glue, paints and other materials are not enclosed.
