A precise ABER metal barrel in 1/35 scale, replicating the 120mm M-58 gun. This product is designed for use with plastic models of the American M103A1 and M103A2 heavy tanks. It serves as a high-quality replacement for standard plastic parts in model kits, significantly enhancing the realism and detail of your finished model.
Product Features and Construction
The ABER 120mm M-58 barrel is crafted from turned metal, ensuring unparalleled precision, sharp edges, and perfect straightness – qualities difficult to achieve with plastic molding technology. The metal material also provides greater durability compared to its plastic counterpart.
Scale: 1/35 – precisely matched to the standard dimensions of tank models in this scale.
Material: High-quality turned metal, ensuring faithful reproduction and durability.
Barrel Type: Replica of the 120mm M-58 gun, used in M103A1 and M103A2 tanks.
Details: Provides an accurate reproduction of the barrel's construction details, including a precisely manufactured muzzle brake, which is crucial for an authentic model appearance.
Compatibility and Application
This product is dedicated for M103A1 and M103A2 tank model kits in 1/35 scale, regardless of the kit manufacturer. Replacing the standard plastic barrel with an ABER metal barrel is a popular upgrade method for models, allowing for a higher level of realism and historical accuracy. Assembly requires basic modeling skills.
Painting Recommendations
As an upgrade and replacement part, the metal barrel does not have separate, recommended paint colors. The final painting of the barrel should match the overall color scheme of your chosen M103A1 or M103A2 tank model, typically including standard shades of green or brown used by the US Army during the relevant periods. Before painting the metal surface, it is recommended to apply a special metal primer to ensure optimal paint adhesion and coating durability.
