Tamiya 12686 1/35 Japan Ground Self Defense Force Type 16 MCV Metal Gun Barell


Thorough reproduction of the multi-purpose muzzle brake
A perforated muzzle brake equipped in the muzzle of the main gun which can be said to be a big feature of 16 type mobile combat vehicle. It suppresses large recoil generated when shooting a 105 ㎜ tank gun, enabling more stable shooting. A metal barrel that reproduces this characteristic barrel as it is with a high quality aluminum cutting appeared. A total of 63 gas vent holes are thoroughly reproduced, nine rows × seven rows spirally opened. The sharp mold which was processed like the real thing from the base of the barrel to the muzzle, greatly improved the sense of precision. It is also a big merit that processing of the parting line is unnecessary.
