Aber 35L-248 is a high-quality replacement barrel for the German 8.8cm Kw.K 43/3 L/71 gun, designed for scale models of the heavy tank Tiger II (also known as Tiger B, Königstiger or King Tiger) in the version with the Porsche turret, the so-called "late" type, in the popular 1/35 scale. This product is dedicated to demanding modelers who wish to elevate the realism of their models to the highest level of accuracy.

Historical Information and Application

The 8.8cm Kw.K 43/3 L/71 gun was one of the most powerful guns mounted on German tanks during World War II. It was used in the Tiger II tanks, which entered service with the German army (Wehrmacht, Waffen-SS) from mid-1944 until the end of the war. The Tiger II with Porsche turret saw action on the Eastern Front as well as during the Battle of the Bulge. The characteristic and rather rounded "Porsche" turret was only installed on a limited number of vehicles before switching to the serial Henschel turret production.

Material and Accessories

The barrel is made of precisely turned metal, ensuring exceptional durability and detailed replication of the real dimensions, contours, and breech gaps. The very finely rendered muzzle enhances the realism of the model, and the two-part construction allows a faithful representation of the original's segmented structure. No plastic or resin parts are included—the entire product is metal, providing greater stability and durability than standard plastic parts found in basic model kits.
