Tamiya 12686 Metal Gun Barrel - 1/35 JGSDF Type 16 MCV Upgrade  [12686]

Upgrade the Type 16 MCV with a Precision Metal Barrel

The Tamiya 12686 Metal Gun Barrel provides a clear step up over the kit plastic barrel, giving modelers tighter scale detail and a realistic metallic finish. It is aimed at hobbyists who want accuracy without heavy modification.

Fine Machining and Scale Accuracy

Made from quality aluminum, the barrel arrives with crisp machining marks and a detailed perforated muzzle brake. Minimal cleanup is needed, so it fits well into most build workflows while adding visible authenticity.

Fitment with Kit Components

The part is engineered to mate with the kit's plastic evacuator and canvas cover. Swapping it in replaces the stock plastic barrel to better match the real vehicle's silhouette and tooling lines.
