About product

8.8 cm KwK 43/3 L/71 barrel, late two-part — Aber 1:48

A turned metal barrel for the 8.8 cm KwK 43/3 L/71 gun in the late two-part form, in 1:48 scale from the Polish manufacturer Aber. It is intended as a replacement for the plastic barrel for models of the German heavy tank King Tiger (Tiger II) with the Porsche turret. It is not a stand-alone model but an upgrade accessory to a base kit.

The real subject

The KwK 43 L/71 gun of 8.8 cm caliber was among the most capable tank weapons of the Second World War; its long barrel gave the shell a high muzzle velocity and the ability to destroy enemy tanks at long range. The later production form used a two-part barrel, which made replacing the worn front section simpler. The first fifty King Tigers built carried the rounded turret of the Krupp works, commonly referred to as the Porsche turret, whose shape is among the most striking silhouettes of German armor.

Building and painting tips

The long metal barrel is perfectly straight, so there is no straightening of warped plastic and no sanding of seams, and the suggested division of the two-part form stays crisp. Degrease the part, glue it with cyanoacrylate glue and paint over a primer. With camouflage sprayed across the barrel, masking tape helps; bring the join of the barrel out lightly with a wash.

Who the set is for

  • For builders of German heavy armor in 1:48 scale.
  • For models of the King Tiger with the Porsche turret, where the long barrel is the dominant feature.
  • For modelers who want a perfectly straight barrel without any work.

An accessory set; the base tank kit, glue and paints are not included in the package.

FAQ

The set is intended for the form with the Porsche turret and the late two-part barrel. For other turret and barrel versions Aber makes separate sets.

The late production form of the KwK 43 gun had a barrel made up of two sections to make replacing the worn front part easier; on the model the division is finely suggested.

Degrease it, glue it with cyanoacrylate glue and paint over a primer with good adhesion to metal; ordinary modeling paints and camouflage will then hold.
