T-34-76 76.2mm barrel
1/16 No.1601
Review by Terry Ashley
The barrel is a single piece with a smooth finish and the small lip at the muzzle as well as rifling to a depth of 10mm. The rifling is parallel with barrel length this is not really that noticeable.
The barrel simply replaces the kit plastic barrel halves (parts S38, S44) and elevates the need to clean up the usual join seam in the plastic parts and being aluminium is not much heavier then the kit barrel so won't cause any problems in that regard.
The barrel fits precisely into the kit gun halves (S37, S43) with out modification and will only need a small amount of cyanoacrylate or two part epoxy to hold in place.
This is the simplest of updates that will add some nice detail definition for the F-34 gun.
Thanks to Gilles from Blast Models for the review kit.
