Detail and refine your Jagdpanzer IV/70(V) Lang build

The Tamiya 12660 Metal Gun Barrel Set is aimed at modellers who want sharper detail on the 1/35 German Jagdpanzer IV/70(V) Lang. The metal replacements lift the visual quality of the main armament and related hardware.

Clean aluminium parts for scale fidelity

Included is a precisely formed 7.5cm aluminium gun barrel that replicates the correct profile and surface. Compared to plastic components, these metal pieces arrive with fewer surface flaws, reducing prep time for a tidy result.

Functional and Accurate Design

The set also supplies separate metal items representing the breech mechanism, the operating wheel, and the equilibrators. The equilibrators come with built-in poly caps to permit elevation adjustment for realistic presentation.

Do I need to drill out the kit to fit these parts?

Some light reaming or drilling of the kit's muzzle mount may be needed to achieve a precise fit. Work slowly and test-fit before final gluing.

Which adhesives give the strongest bond?

For metal-to-plastic joins use cyanoacrylate or a two-part epoxy. Apply sparingly and clamp pieces until the adhesive cures for the best result.

Can I pose the barrel after assembly?

Yes, the equilibrators include poly caps that allow limited elevation and depression of the barrel for display. Ensure the caps are seated firmly when assembling.

Any tips for painting the metal parts?

Prime aluminium with a metal primer, then apply thin coats of paint. Light weathering and targeted drybrushing help integrate the parts with the rest of the kit.

Will adding metal parts affect shipping or handling?

The added metal weight is modest at 1/35 scale and should not cause handling issues. Pack and ship finished models with adequate padding around the barrel to protect delicate areas.
