Hi Toby
The only ones I know from Orange Hobby are #G35-129, #G35-121 and #G35-136 , but AFAIK they are all for the T-90 kits.

You must take in account that the T-72 and T-90 gun barrels are similar but not the same. The main difference I found between them is the "bussiness-end" of the barrel... and since OH barrels are made in metal it should be difficult to fix that difference

Am I wrong or missing something?

Hugo,

Does the T-72 not use the 2A46M barrel or does it use the 2A46 barrel??? Are they that different??.

Just to show what I'm talking about, some pics of RB and Voyager gun barrels for T-72 and T-90
You can see the difference between them
All the after market barrels I've seen for the T-90 kits are like the last pics

I see what you mean now. They are different barrels completely.

Very late reply, just been noticed of your question about this post since I did not deactivate notifications related to it.

I'm not going to post in this site any more in the future, apart from any specific advice I may give to other modellers about a given subject.
So no more pics about this model...

Happy modelling to all!
