The barrel of the Soviet 100 mm D-10S gun for the SU-101 self-propelled gun is a turned metal detail set from Aber in 1:35 scale. It is not a vehicle kit but a replacement barrel.
Responsibility details are not available.
This turned metal barrel from the Polish maker Aber in 1:35 scale replaces the plastic barrel part of the Soviet SU-101 self-propelled gun. The metal part is machined on a lathe, it has no seam from the mold parting line and the muzzle is drilled out, so once painted it looks far more faithful than the plastic original. The set is an accessory to the kit and does not hold the model of the vehicle.
The SU-101, also known under its project designation Uralmash-1, was a Soviet self-propelled gun developed at the end of the Second World War using components of the T-44 tank. Its unusual feature was a layout with the fighting compartment moved to the rear, which gave the vehicle a very compact silhouette. The armament was the 100 mm D-10S gun, that is the self-propelled version of the proven hundred, which also armed the SU-100 tank destroyers. The vehicle stayed at the prototype stage and never reached series production.
The turned barrel is fitted in place of the plastic part, which usually has to be cut off, and the hole in the mantlet or shield carefully opened out with a round file. It is glued with cyanoacrylate glue or two-part epoxy, and on heavier parts it is worth reinforcing the joint. Degrease the metal with alcohol before painting and apply a primer, otherwise the paint holds badly. We recommend blackening the muzzle and knocking back the inside to a matte finish; the outer surface takes light drybrushing with a metallic pigment and some wear at the muzzle.
This is a detail set, not a model of the vehicle. The base kit, glue, paints and other accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
