Hi all!
I'm interested in building Miniart's T-70 (actually their Pz. Kpfw. T-70 743 (r)) and would like to add an aftermarket barrel. The set that interests me the most is Armorscale (#B35-069) - 45mm 20K Obr.32
While I've been able to find some references verifying the direct view driver's hatch, I haven't found anything to verify if this barrel was actually used in the T-70. I'm hoping that some of you Soviet experts can help resolve the little problem I'm having.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Never mind. Someone over at Missing-Lynx was kind enough to help me.

I'm just building that same kit but I used the Aber barrel. To my surprise there was also a tinny coax MG included on the bag.
They're excellent.
From all the ref photos I have the Aber barrel seems to be the one for the variant I'm building.
[edit] Found it
Here you have a photo from the mag Steel Masters where a variant with direct vision hatch and that Armorscale barrel can be seen.
The exhaust pipes are routed differently from the Miniart Kit (AFAIK)

Hi Antonio,
Thank you very much for the information. The picture is great and a big help.
I've just checked out your Build Log and it looks like it's going really well.. The resin stowage from Blast add a nice touch.
Again, thanks for the assistance.
