Aber 35L-226 Early barrel for Valentine Mk.II to VII or Matilda Mk.III/IV with Besa MG barrel (1/35)

Aber 35L-226 is a premium accessory set designed for 1:35 scale plastic tank models. The product is dedicated to British armored vehicles: Valentine Mk.II to Mk.VII and Matilda Mk.III/IV. The set includes an early version of the metal gun barrel and a precisely manufactured Besa MG machine gun barrel, enabling accurate replication of the armament of these famous British tanks from World War II.

The Valentine tank was widely used by the British Army and allied forces in, among other places, the North African campaign, the Eastern Front (as part of Lend-Lease supplies to the USSR), and during fighting in Europe from 1940 to 1945. The Matilda Mk.III/IV gained particular fame during the Battle of Arras in 1940 and in the North African campaign — it was the main British infantry tank of the era, used extensively from 1939 to 1943. Both tank types were armed with the 2-pounder (40 mm) gun and the characteristic Besa machine gun — exactly the weapons reproduced in this set.

The product is precisely made using CNC machining from high-quality metal (brass), which ensures a very high level of detail realism, durability, and resistance to mechanical damage. The elements are properly dimensioned and designed to be the ideal replacement for the original plastic barrel in 1:35 scale plastic models. The Aber metal barrel significantly enhances the quality and realism even of the simplest models, enabling the creation of very advanced historical dioramas.
