Tamiya 12670 1/35 Metal Gun Barrel Upgrade for U.S. M40 Self-Propelled Gun  [12670]

Fine metal upgrade for the U.S. M40 SPG

The Tamiya 12670 1/35 US M40 Metal Gun Barrel is made for model builders who want to raise the realism of the U.S. Self-Propelled Gun M40 (Item 35351). This detail-up component features a turned aluminum barrel with clearly defined rifling at the muzzle to improve the appearance and feel of your scale kit.

Accurate barrel and brass projectiles

Along with the aluminum barrel, this set contains ten brass projectiles carefully reproduced with fine markings. Decals are provided for the projectile markings so you can achieve an authentic, scale-correct finish. The barrel measures 196mm, matching the model's scale proportions.

Painting and assembly tips

For best results, use Tamiya metal surface primer before painting to promote adhesion and a smooth finish across the metal parts. The combination of aluminum and brass adds a realistic weight and solid feel. Assembly requires standard modelling glue and paint; use fine tools and tweezers when applying the decals.
