88 mm KwK 43/3 L/71 (one part) barrel for King Tiger Porsche-Turret without muzzle brake, 1/16 - Aber Models 16 L-13

The reference Aber Models 16 L-13 is a detailing accessory at 1/16, representing the German gun 8.8 cm KwK 43/3 L/71. This one-piece metal part is intended to reproduce a King Tiger with Porsche turret, in a configuration without muzzle brake.

Designed for the corresponding Trumpeter model kits, this gun barrel is a dedicated replacement part for assembling a large-scale German armoured vehicle from the Second World War. The KwK 43 L/71 was the main armament associated with the Tiger II, also known as the Königstiger or King Tiger.

The one-piece design avoids the seam line typically found on a barrel made from two half-shells. The part is supplied unpainted and is suitable for a custom assembly and finishing project.

Assembly and finishing

As with any metal model kit accessory, careful cleaning before painting helps improve primer adhesion. Gluing a metal part onto a plastic kit requires the use of glue suitable for the materials involved. Painting can then be done in line with the decoration and weathering/patina chosen for the vehicle.
