Howdy all,
Well Happy new year to us! RB Models is making ZSU-23-4 barrels!!!
I do not think they are four to a package, but wow! Now if we can just get them to do a 14.5mm barrel and 2a72 I'd be a very happy camper! Ryan

I'm sure these will sell out before you can say "Shilka"! Just going by the photos, I think there will be 4 (four) barrels in a package, but I sent them an e-mail to clarify this just in case. I will be ordering a couple sets as soon as they respond to my e-mail. I have their 2A42 (BMP-2) and T-55 barrels, and they simply look great.

Piotr from RB Model responded to my e-mail and confirmed that there would be a complete set (4 barrels) to a package, and he corrected the Web site. The RB Model web site now clearly states that there are "4 pcs" of barrels in a set.

I just received my RB Model Shilka barrels from Piotr; ordered direct via their Web site through PayPal. All I can say is that they are even better than they look in the photos! Both the barrels and the gas tubes are exquisitely machined, and the price is great.

They do both barrels for the BMP-2 and BTR/ BRDM series now.

Weird. I got mine from them off of Ebay and got them within two weeks tops! Actually a little cheaper to boot. Ryan
