A turned L7 gun barrel of 105 mm caliber for the Israeli Shot Kal Dalet tank in 1:35 scale. A replacement part for a kit, not a model of the vehicle in its own right.
Responsibility details are not available.
The set is not a kit of the tank but a replacement barrel. It takes the place of the injection-molded barrel from the box with a single turned part that holds a circular cross section along its whole length and has no mold seam. The barrel is the most exposed long part on a tank, and any seam or slight bow on it is the first thing seen on a finished model.
The Shot Kal is the Israeli modernization of the British Centurion tank. The successive stages of the upgrade were designated by letters of the Hebrew alphabet, of which Dalet is the latest. The main armament was the 105 mm L7 gun, which appeared on Centurions when they were rearmed from the original smaller-caliber gun and became the most widespread Western tank barrel of the 1960s and 1970s. The pairing of vehicle and gun is therefore given correctly in the name.
Try dry how the trunnion of the barrel seats in the gun mantlet and correct any difference on the plastic part. Degrease the turned surface before painting and use a primer. Israeli vehicles usually carry a single shade, so the model gains a great deal from modulation of the base color, light dusting of the lower part and a dry rubbing mark on the top of the barrel. Pick out the muzzle with a dark shade rather than black.
The accessory is supplied unpainted. The base kit, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
