About product

Israeli 105 mm M-68 barrel for the Tiran 5, variant A, 1:35, Aber

The set from the Polish manufacturer Aber contains an accurate turned metal barrel of the Israeli 105 mm M-68 tank gun for a model of the Tiran 5 tank in 1:35 scale, in the variant A version. This is a detail accessory, not a vehicle kit. The metal barrel replaces the plastic part, removes the mold seam, holds an accurate circular section and offers a faithfully made muzzle. The variant A designation distinguishes this particular rendering of the barrel from the second version offered, which differs in the detail of the external shape.

The real subject

Tiran 5 is the Israeli designation for captured Soviet T-55 tanks, which the Israeli army rearmed and modified to its own standards after the wars of 1967 and 1973. The most striking change was the replacement of the original 100 mm gun with the 105 mm M-68, the Israeli counterpart of the widely used Western tank gun. The vehicles were given new hull and turret equipment, different stowage baskets and machine gun armament following Israeli practice. The Tirans served in the Israeli army for a number of years and some of them were later converted into armored personnel carriers.

Fitting and tips

The metal barrel is glued with cyanoacrylate glue, and two-part epoxy suits larger mating faces. First degrease the parts with alcohol or isopropyl alcohol and roughen the surfaces. Apply an adhesion primer before painting. Israeli vehicles are usually painted in a desert sand shade, so the barrel comes out well with drybrushing and fine dust pigments; pick out the muzzle with restrained sooting.

Who the set is for

  • modelers building Israeli armor in 1:35 scale
  • anyone interested in modernizations of the Soviet T-54 and T-55 tanks
  • builders of competition models, where the accuracy of the barrel is judged
  • advanced modelers used to working with metal accessories

This is a detail accessory, not a kit. The base model, glue and paints are not included in the package.

The Israeli designation for captured Soviet T-55 tanks, which the Israeli army rearmed with the 105 mm M-68 gun and modified to its own standards.

The two sets represent different renderings of the M-68 gun barrel on the Tirans. Choose the one that matches the particular vehicle you are building.

It is not. This is purely a metal detail barrel, which is fitted to a separately purchased model.

Degrease it with alcohol, apply an adhesion primer and only then the paint. Without a primer the paint rubs off smooth metal.
