Historical description:

The heavy KV-II tank was one of the most distinctive armored vehicles that entered service with the Red Army just before the outbreak of World War II. It was characterized by a massive turret and powerful armament – the rifled M-10S 152.4 mm gun, making it a formidable opponent for German armored forces during battles on the Eastern Front in 1941-1942. Although production ceased in 1941, these tanks played a significant role in the defense of Leningrad, and their menacing appearance and thick armor long remained in the memories of soldiers on both sides of the conflict.

Features of the Aber 35L-044 barrel:

• The barrel is made from high-quality turned brass, ensuring perfect dimensions, historical accuracy, and an ideally smooth surface.

• Allows for an easy replacement of the original plastic barrel in the model with a much more detailed metal version.
• The product is compatible with most 1/35 scale KV-II tank models, regardless of the kit manufacturer.
