Hello Jason,
Here is what you are seeking, The Lionmarc LM10030 barrel. It is made just for the Tamiya kit and is quite nice, I have one. Should be able to find it on their website. It is on the last page I believe. Hope this helps.

Best,

Walter

Hi Walter,

Thanks for your reply, I didn't specify, but I am looking for a barrel for the 1/48 Jagdtiger, not a 35th, sorry about that,

Hi, RB Model makes the 2 versions of the barrel (monoblock barrel early or Porsche Tiger II late as in kit). Be sure to check your photo references for tool placements as the Tamiya kit is mixed features. Let me find some links for you

Hi Greg,

Thanks for your reply, the links you've posted are for the Tamiya JagdPanther, unfortunately I'm building the Tamiya JagdTiger, thanks for your time anyway.

Jason: I can concur with Scott. I ordered mine from Track48 and it is on its way. The barrel is from GasOLine and is listed by the gun, and not listed by "jagtiger". The gun is 128mm KwK 44 L/55, item number GAS50084G from Track48.

Happy Modeling, -zon

Opps, should have been paying attention

Yes, Scott and Zon are right. I have that barrel as well and it is great

Thanks for all your input gents, very much appreciated, got my metal Barrel on order.

Greg, no probs mate, I nearly bought the barrels you linked too, but if I had, I would've had to buy the kits to go with them .

Jason: I got mine in the mail yesterday and it looks good. It is sligthly different than the kit profile but I think it will work fine. I'll try to post pics this weekend if I can get to it.

Happy Modeling, -zon

Thanks for all your input Gents, my barrel arrived from Canada yesterday, and here it is, in all it's glory (sorry about the bad photo, took it with my Blackberry....)



Will be able to start my Jagdtiger for the 48 scale campaign after the weekend.
