CMD-16O, Soviet 76.2mm F-34 gun tube in 1/35-scale turned aluminum for DML T-34 Model 1941

CMD-16O, Soviet 76.2mm F-34 gun tube in 1/35-scale turned aluminum for DML T-34 Model 1941. Price: $8.00 USD, plus shipping.

This latest accessory is a timely addition for the recently released DML kit of the T-34 Model 1941. It is a single piece of cleanly turned aluminum. It is tailored for the DML kit and is a simple, drop fit into the mantlet. The small collar on the bore of the gun is nicely understated, while the wall of the bore is relatively thin. It is also a low cost item, when compared to many other offerings currently on the market. It should also be adaptable to any other Soviet vehicle that requires an F-34 gun tube, such as later T-34s, as well as variations on the KV-1 chassis.

Highly recommended.

Note: the item number for this kit is “sixteen-oh” (as in “Oscar”), not 160 (as in one hundred and sixty).
