Build quality and finish

The Tamiya 12694 metal barrel uses high quality aluminum to resist wear and keep a sharp look over time. Its design removes visible parting lines, making installation neater and faster.

What tools and preparation do I need to fit the Tamiya 12694 metal barrel?

A hobby knife, small files and fine sandpaper are usually enough to clean mating surfaces. The barrel is designed for a snug fit so minimal trimming is expected. Keep a pair of tweezers and a pin vice handy for aligning the plastic detail parts.

Will the metal barrel affect the model's balance?

The aluminum barrel adds a small amount of front-end weight compared with the kit plastic part. For display models this is negligible. If balance is critical, place a small counterweight in the rear hull or secure components with the kit instructions.

Are the plastic tip and bore evacuator included for kit compatibility?

Yes. The upgrade includes the appropriate plastic tip, bore evacuator and rear section to match Tamiya Item 35387. These parts help preserve correct scale appearance and integrate cleanly with the kit.
