MG34 (late) Tank Barrel
Adlers Nest 1:35 Set #ANM-35002
Review by Terry Ashley
Adlers Nest a new company from Japan continue to release
some high quality brass update sets for the modeller and this latest set has
two late armoured sleeve MG34 Machine gun barrels for use with any applicable
German Vehicle such as the Panzer IV, Tiger I/II and Panther.
Brass Barrel
The barrel consists of a finely turned brass outer barrel with the muzzle
flare depicted well and the muzzle also drilled out with finely engraved
cooling slits and small screws depicted by small indentations.
For this example I fitted the barrel to the AFV Club late
Tiger I hull MG positions and after cutting off the plastic barrel at the
appropriate position simply drilled a small locating hole and attached
the brass barrel for a very easy conversion.
The brass barrel fitted perfectly through the ball mounting holes as
you would expect with the barrel being the correct size and no other alterations
were needed making the job even easier.
Barrel fitted to the AFV Club hull MG and ball mounting
Conclusion:
Another excellent barrel from Adlers Nest to add that bit extra detail
to any later war German AFV and
the minor work needed to fit the barrel makes it easy to fit.
Highly recommended.
Thanks again to me Credit Card for the review set.
Adlers Nest sets
are available from Rainbow
Ten in Japan.
