A turned metal 8.8 cm Pak 43/3 L/71 barrel in 1:35 scale from Aber replaces the plastic part on a model of the Jagdpanther tank destroyer in the early-production Ausf. G1 version. Intended for the Takom kit.
Responsibility details are not available.
This is an accessory for a kit, not a model of the vehicle. The barrel is turned from metal in one piece, so the gluing and sanding of two plastic halves falls away and with it the risk of a lengthwise seam on a surface that should be perfectly cylindrical. It is intended for a model of the Jagdpanther tank destroyer in the early-production Ausf. G1 version. The target kit is Takom.
The Jagdpanther was a German tank destroyer of the Second World War built on the chassis of the Panther tank. Its main weapon was the 8.8 cm Pak 43/3 gun with a barrel 71 calibers long, one of the most effective anti-tank guns of its day. The long slim barrel with its muzzle brake is the most conspicuous element of the vehicle's silhouette, and it is on the barrel that an inaccuracy of shape is noticed sooner than on any other part.
Degrease the metal with alcohol before work, otherwise paint will not hold on it. Try the seating of the barrel in the mantlet dry first and only then glue it with cyanoacrylate glue or two-part epoxy. Use a base coat meant for metal surfaces on the metal and lay the covering shade on in thin coats so that the edges of the muzzle brake do not fill in. Finally, darken the muzzle of the barrel with a dark wash or a fine pigment so that it does not look like a blind hole.
The accessory is supplied unpainted. The Takom base kit, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
