AFV Club AG35060 Metal Barrel for M113 MRV 1/35 is a high-quality metal barrel designed for M113 MRV models in the popular 1/35 scale. The product has been carefully designed by the renowned manufacturer AFV Club, ensuring an accurate reproduction of the original gun mounted on the Australian reconnaissance version of the M113 MRV armored personnel carrier. Such details significantly enhance the realism of the finished model and make for an excellent replacement for the standard plastic components included in model kits.

The barrel is made entirely of high-grade metal, which not only ensures exceptional durability but also perfect detail – especially in terms of proportions, accurately reproduced muzzle brakes, and ventilation cuts. The part is dedicated both for use in basic model kits and in advanced detail-up sets, making it an outstanding basis for high-level modeling projects.

The M113 MRV (Medium Reconnaissance Vehicle) is an Australian upgrade of the famous American M113 personnel carrier, which was first introduced into service in the 1960s and was widely used during the Cold War. The MRV was equipped with the Scorpion turret with a 76mm gun and served as a fire support reconnaissance vehicle in the Australian Army. It was used until the 1990s, particularly during various exercises and peacekeeping missions, making it an immensely interesting subject for Cold War era military enthusiasts.
