D-10-T2S 100mm Barrel
T-55
#MP 3516-4
Review by Terry Ashley
The barrel is in a single piece with the first 10mm drilled out and includes
very nicely depicted rifling to a depth of about 5mm. There
should also be a fine weld seam down the side of the fume extractor which can
easily be added using your favourite method and a large bolt head added under
the fume extractor.
The weld seam is shown in pictures either on the left, right or underside of
the fume extractor so I guess it's a matter of checking your references.
Fitting to the T-55 kits:
The barrel fits directly into the Tamiya mantlet (part C16) without any modifications,
nothing could be easier.
To fit the barrel to the ESCI and Trumpeter T-55s you will
need to drill out a 6mm locating hole in the mantlet (ESCI part C72, Trumpeter part
B63) to accept the Modelpoint barrel, but is easily done.
A nicely rendered barrel, the rifling is of note and will add that little bit extra to any of the available T-55 kits.
Recommended.
Thanks to Dmitriy from Model Point US for the review sample.
