Upgrade the Hummel With a One-Piece Metal Barrel

The Tamiya 12688 Metal Gun Barrel is a precision accessory made to boost the detail on the 1/35 German Hummel model kit, intended for the late production version (Item 35367). Machined from a single piece of high-quality aluminum, it provides a smooth finish and avoids the extra seam work common with two-part plastic barrels.

One-Piece Aluminum for Cleaner Builds

At 111mm long, this metal barrel includes fine rifling at the muzzle for enhanced visual accuracy. It fits the German Heavy Self-Propelled Howitzer Hummel and helps modellers achieve a faithful representation without extra compromises to detail.

Suited to Scale Modellers and Display Builders

This metal barrel streamlines fitting and noticeably upgrades the finished appearance of the model. For hobbyists focused on historical accuracy, it gives the Hummel a sharper, more convincing presence on the shelf.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: Aluminum
  • Length: 111mm
  • Assembly: Direct replacement for kit part
  • Detail: Fine rifling at the barrel tip
This barrel is manufactured to replace the plastic gun part on the Tamiya 1/35 German Heavy Self-Propelled Howitzer Hummel late production kit, Item 35367.
No specialised tools are necessary. The part is a direct replacement but having a hobby knife and a fine file helps seat and align the barrel precisely.
Lightly scuff the metal with fine abrasive, apply a metal primer, then follow with thin coats of paint. Mask the rifling if you want to preserve crisp detail.
