i just bought this kit today and i want to upgrade it with some after market pieces but i only want to get a JR barrel. i was looking on hometown-hobbies.com and there is a nashorn barrel. they should be the same right? i mena the hornisse was an early nashron. so would they be the same or not? thanks ahead fellas

The barrel you want is Jordi Rubio TG-19. If that's the one - go ahead an get it.

thanks alot jeff i sure will buy it. i had the kit barrells... can never get ridt of the damn seam

Lion roar makes a nice Barrel for the Hornisse. It comes in 2 peices has a nice muzzle break and some PE to detail the things that JR left off the kit. As a bonus they also give you Resin cover for the barrel. All in all a good deal for 10usd. also Gum Ka has a PE set that looks good and isn't over the top. It just has details that should have been in the kit. The only other thing that needs to be added after those 2 sets in a MG34 from the spares boxs, as SPG's were issued one for defense from infantry. HTH STUG

steve, could you by any chance give me the websites to check those items out. i haven't bought the JR yet. now that i heard waht you had to say thought i'd check it out before i bought one. thanks

John here is a pic of the Lion Roar set.
hope that helps. as far as the Online shop to get one I'm searching for one now. I live in Japan and my local hobby shop stocks them. Now for the Gumka set you can get it from HLJ here is their page for the set

On the barrel I'd suggest going through HLJ, email them and see if its availble. STUG
