Responsibility details are not available.
A turned metal barrel in 1:35 scale from the Polish maker Aber for a model of the German Tiger B heavy tank. It matches the 88 mm KwK 43 gun with a barrel 71 calibers long, in the variant used on vehicles with the early Porsche-designed turret. It is not a model of the tank but a detail accessory for a plastic kit. On a barrel of this length turned metal is a noticeable gain, because it does not bend and has no parting line along its whole length.
The Tiger B, also known as the Königstiger, was a German heavy tank from the end of the Second World War, armed with a long 88 mm gun. The first vehicles built carried a turret with a markedly curved front face, called the early Porsche turret after the original design, which was later replaced by a turret with a flat front plate. The long barrel with its muzzle brake is the most striking feature of the vehicle's silhouette, and its shape is watched closely on models.
Cut off the plastic barrel, open the hole in the mantlet out to the diameter of the metal pin and level the surfaces. Try the long barrel dry and check that it points along the axis and does not drop. Degrease the metal, glue it with cyanoacrylate glue and wipe away any excess at once. Apply a primer for metal surfaces to the metal. The muzzle brake and the area around it can take a darker shade and soot; match the rest of the barrel to the color of the vehicle and add light dust.
This is a detail set, not a complete model. Glue, paints and the base kit are not included in the package.
