About product

Aber 1:56 76.2 mm F-32 barrel for the KV-1 tank

A turned metal barrel in 1:56 scale, that is, in the size common for models of vehicles for tabletop games with figures. It replaces the molded barrel of the Soviet heavy KV-1 tank, which at this scale tends to be the weakest point of the whole model. It is an accessory for the owner of a model, not a kit of the vehicle.

Why metal pays off in a small scale

The smaller the scale, the thinner the barrel, and the more trouble it tends to be. Plastic and resin moldings warp at this size, they have a seam along their whole length and a solid muzzle. Turned metal is straight, it has its muzzle drilled out and it does not bend easily while the model is played with or carried. The difference is visible even from the ordinary distance across a gaming table.

The real subject

The F-32 was a Soviet 76.2 mm tank gun fitted to the heavy KV-1 tank in the early phase of its production. Later machines were given a different gun, so the barrel corresponds to a specific period of the vehicle's production, not to the whole KV line.

Fitting and painting

  • Degrease the part in warm water with detergent and dry it.
  • Cut the original barrel off square and drill an opening of matching diameter in the gun mantlet, best with a hand drill.
  • Try the seating dry; the barrel has to lie on the axis of the turret.
  • Bond with super glue; a gel gives time to align it.
  • Prime the metal, otherwise the paint soon rubs off while the model is handled.

Who the accessory is for

  • Players of tabletop games with vehicle models in 1:56 scale.
  • Modelers who want to get rid of the seam and the solid muzzle of a barrel in a small scale.
  • Those looking for an improvement with a striking visual effect.

This is an accessory for a model, not a kit of the vehicle. The model, paints and glue are not included in the package.

FAQ

The size commonly used for models of vehicles for tabletop games with figures. The vehicles are smaller than in 1:35 or 1:48 scale, so the parts are tiny and working with them calls for tweezers.

It corresponds to the early version with the F-32 gun. The opening in the turret usually has to be drilled, so compare the diameter of the mounting with your model before buying.

It is not. It is a separate metal barrel, that is, an accessory for a model you already have.

First degrease it and apply a thin primer intended for metal, then the paint. Without a primer the finish rubs off during ordinary handling of the model already.
