Bring sharper scale detail to your Jagdpanzer IV/70(V) Lang

Modelmakers seeking improved realism will appreciate the Tamiya 12660 Metal Gun Barrel Set for the 1/35 Jagdpanzer IV/70(V) Lang. This set is intended to upgrade the factory components with higher fidelity metal replacements.

Accurate, machined aluminium components

The set includes a true-to-scale 7.5cm gun barrel crafted from aluminium for a precise profile and finish. Metal parts avoid many of the cleanup issues associated with resin, giving cleaner edges and minimal seam work.

Functional and Accurate Design

Alongside the barrel, metal replacements are supplied for the breech, the operating wheel, and the equilibrators. The equilibrators are fitted with poly caps so the gun barrel can be adjusted for elevation or depression when displayed.

Specifications

  • Material: Aluminum
  • Assembly: Glue Required
  • Parts Included: Gun Barrel, Breech, Operating Wheel, Equilibrators

Can I use these parts on other 1/35 vehicles?

These components are made for the Jagdpanzer IV/70(V) Lang shape and mounting points, so using them on other kits will likely require custom fitting and modification.

Are special adhesives needed for aluminium?

Standard model glues work for attaching to plastic, but for the best bond use cyanoacrylate (superglue) or epoxy rated for metal-to-plastic joints.

Will the metal barrel change the model balance?

The aluminium barrel is heavier than plastic, but the weight difference is small at this scale and normally does not affect static display stability.

What finishing steps improve realism?

Prime metal surfaces, then apply base paint, subtle shading, and light weathering. Pin washes and drybrushing highlight machining detail without obscuring the metal texture.
