Turned metal barrels for the 2 cm KwK 30 L/55 cannon and the MG 34 machine gun of the PzKpfw II Ausf. a to F in 1:35 scale replace both plastic weapons in the turret with accurate metal parts. It is an accessory for the build, not a tank kit.
Responsibility details are not available.
A metal set from Master for building a model of the PzKpfw II light tank in 1:35 scale. It is not a model of the vehicle but a pair of turned barrels that replace the plastic parts of the main weapon and the coaxial machine gun. The barrels are intended for PzKpfw II kits from IBG, Dragon and other manufacturers.
In the turret of the PzKpfw II two barrels sit close beside each other. That is exactly why it shows most here when one of them is not on axis or when the spacing between them drifts: the eye catches a difference like that sooner than any other detail on the model. Turned parts are straight and have a regular circular cross section, so once they are set into drilled holes both barrels hold the same direction. The automatic cannon also has a very slender barrel, which plastic manages only with difficulty at that diameter: it tends to be bent straight off the sprue and flattens when the seam is removed.
The PzKpfw II was a German light tank of the 1930s. In its two-man turret it carried the 2 cm KwK 30 automatic cannon, 55 calibers long and derived from an anti-aircraft weapon of the same caliber, plus a coaxial 7.92 mm machine gun. The Ausf. a to F marks make up the early and the main production series, which differed chiefly in the running gear and the thickness of the armor.
The plastic barrels are cut off at the mantlet, the surface is leveled and the holes are drilled out with a micro drill to suit the diameter of the shanks. It is worth setting both barrels in dry and checking them from the front of the turret, and only then fixing them with gel cyanoacrylate glue. Before painting, metal calls for degreasing and a primer meant for metal surfaces. The muzzles themselves look best without paint, simply polished and chemically blackened. When picking out the detail at the end, watch the slender cannon, so that it does not get bent on the edge of the display case.
This is an accessory for building the model, not a standalone kit. The base model, glue and paints are not included in the package.
