A turned metal barrel for the German 7.5 cm Pak 40 anti-tank gun in the middle production version, 1:35 scale from Voyager Model. This is a replacement part for a kit you already own, not a model.
Responsibility details are not available.
An accurately turned metal barrel, which replaces the plastic part on a kit. A metal barrel is perfectly straight, has a drilled muzzle and no parting seam, so the most unpleasant sanding of the whole build falls away. The set does not hold a model; this is a replacement for one part.
The 7.5 cm Pak 40 gun was from 1942 the main German anti-tank gun of medium caliber. It had a long barrel with a two-chamber muzzle brake, a split trail carriage and a low silhouette. It was produced in great numbers and its barrel also appears on self-propelled chassis. Over the course of production the execution of the barrel and the muzzle brake changed, which is why the manufacturer offers several versions; this one matches the middle period of production.
A plastic barrel comes about from two halves, so it has a seam along its whole length, which has to be sanded down and smoothed again. On a thin tapering part the shape is easily spoiled in the process. Turned metal does away with that problem and additionally holds a circular cross section and a genuinely drilled muzzle, which is very clearly visible on an anti-tank gun.
Try the seating in the breech and the mantlet of the kit dry first; sometimes the hole has to be widened slightly with a drill. Glue the metal with cyanoacrylate applied in a minimum amount, ideally with a wire. Before painting, degrease the barrel and use a primer for metal. Choose the shade itself according to the rest of the model; apply the transition of color at the muzzle and traces of scale only at the end with a dry brush or pigment.
This is a replacement part for a kit you have already bought. The model, glue and paints are not included in the package.
