Upgrade your U.S. M40 with a metal barrel

The Tamiya 12670 1/35 US M40 Metal Gun Barrel is a specialist detail set for modellers improving the U.S. Self-Propelled Gun M40 (Item 35351). The turned aluminium barrel includes defined rifling at the muzzle to enhance the model's authenticity.

Contents and scale accuracy

This kit provides a 196mm aluminium barrel plus ten brass projectiles reproduced with fine detail. A decal sheet is included for the projectile markings so you can finish each round to a scale-appropriate appearance.

Assembly and finishing pointers

Apply a metal surface primer such as Tamiya prior to painting to secure paint adhesion and protect detail. The aluminium and brass parts add realistic weight and tactile quality. Assembly requires glue and paint; use precision tools when fitting the small parts and decals.
