About product

Turned 37 mm M6 barrel 1:72 — Aber

A turned metal barrel for the American 37 mm M6 gun in 1:72 scale from the Polish company Aber. It is not a vehicle model but an add-on — a replacement for the plastic barrel on a kit that is already built. The manufacturer intends it for the M8 Greyhound armored car and for the tanks of the M3 Lee series, the M3A1 and M3A4 versions included. The part is turned, so it has a precisely round section and a muzzle that is genuinely drilled out.

Why a metal barrel

A plastic barrel from a mold always has a seam along its whole length and a muzzle that is glued shut. Once that seam is sanded away the section stops being round, and a thin barrel in a small scale is easily bent. A turned metal part has none of those faults: the section is accurate, the muzzle is open and the part stays straight. In 1:72 scale the difference shows at once, because the barrel is one of the most conspicuous parts of the silhouette.

Usage tips

  • Cut the plastic barrel off at the base and clean the hole out with a drill
  • Degrease the metal, or neither paint nor glue will hold on it
  • Glue with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue); cement for plastic does not work here
  • Spray a metal primer on before painting

Who the part is for

For modelers of American equipment in 1:72 scale who want a crisp silhouette and an open muzzle. Fitting is simple and a less experienced builder will manage it, but it calls for cyanoacrylate glue (super glue) and careful work with a small part.

This is an accessory, not a kit. The base kit, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
