Let me know if you have this book?

Robert if you could be so kind and look at page 512/514 and tell me if Jagdpanther #112 had a one piece early or two piece late gun barrel?

The Dragon instructions show the later barrel but not sure

Many thanks
Karl

Two reasons why I ask is I like to be as accurate as possible and the other reason is I just found the one piece slide molded barrel is warped like a Banana



Way to go Dragon

Knowing typical dragon instructions, they probably failed to show the option of the experimental 88mm barrel that was to be used to shoot around corners
I received an awful bent Flak 43 barrel in my Dragon Ostwind Kit
It was aftermarket Armorscale to the rescue for me on that.
But it does make you angry considering the price of a dragon kit these days.

Not terribly clear in either photo due to the angles and a squaddie being in the way (isn't it always the way?) but from looking at others that the unit appears to have received at the same time, I'd say it's probably a two-piece job.

Thanks Robert

Might save me from buying a new barrel
