About product

Turned 120 mm L/55 gun barrel for the Leopard 2A7 in 1:16 scale

A precisely turned replacement gun barrel from the Polish brand Aber, intended to be swapped for the plastic part on the large 1:16 model of the German Leopard 2 tank in the A7 version. The metal barrel has a perfectly circular cross section along its whole length, no seam line from two halves and a drilled-out muzzle.

What the L/55 gun is

The Leopard 2 carries a Rheinmetall 120 mm smoothbore gun. The older versions had the shorter L/44; from the A6 variant the longer L/55 is fitted, which gives the round a higher muzzle velocity. The A7 version is a newer German upgrade standard with reinforced protection and equipment for fighting in built-up areas. The longer slender barrel is the most conspicuous recognition feature of this machine, and it is exactly there that the shortcomings of an injection-molded part show up most on a model.

Fitting and finish

Cut the plastic barrel off where it emerges from the mantlet and clean the opening up with a round file. The metal is seated dry for as long as the axis is true; then a drop of cyanoacrylate glue or two-part resin is enough. Degrease the metal before painting and use a metal primer, otherwise the paint will not hold on the polished surface.

Who the accessory suits

  • builders of large models of modern equipment
  • anyone bothered by the seam and the oval cross section on a barrel
  • models meant to be viewed close up
  • reinforcing a thin plastic part

It is a stand-alone replacement part, not a whole tank model. Paints and glue are not supplied with it.

FAQ

Yes, it is intended to be swapped for the plastic barrel. The original part is cut off at the mantlet and the opening is cleaned up so that the metal seats on the true axis.

Cyanoacrylate glue or two-part resin works well. Degrease the metal before spraying and apply a primer intended for metal surfaces.

It is not. It is a stand-alone replacement part for a large-scale model you already own.
