Upgrade the Panther Ausf.D turret with accurate metal and resin parts

The Tamiya 12664 Metal Gun Barrel Set is intended for modelers upgrading the 1/35 Panzerkampfwagen V Panther Ausf.D (Tamiya Item 35345). The kit replaces the original plastic barrel with a machined aluminium tube and supplies resin breech components to increase visual fidelity.

Machined aluminium for crisp scale detail

The aluminium barrel captures the slim profile and authentic surface of the 7.5cm KwK 42, while the resin breech parts present fine cast detail that stands up to close inspection and paintwork.

Suited to experienced modellers and restorers

Created to pair with the Tamiya 1/35 Panther Ausf.D, this set is best used by those comfortable with aftermarket fitting and finishing, aiming for a more museum-accurate look on display builds.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35

  • Compatible Kit: Tamiya Item 35345
The aluminium barrel adds a small amount of weight at the turret front. It rarely affects balance, but check turret rotation and secure mounting to avoid slippage on lighter builds.
Useful tools include a fine file, precision cutters, CA or two-part epoxy for bonding, and a metal primer for the barrel. A steady hand and patience make for the cleanest results.
Yes. Resin accepts fine sanding and small aftermarket bits. Pinning and adding thin metal wiring for hydraulic lines or fittings can enhance realism around the breech.
