Has anybody seen a turned barrel for either T-10 kit?

Thanks!

It seems Voyager is doing the barrel for the T-10 (Meng and/or Trumpeter but if they released the set already i don't know.



already available is a 130mm version of this gun which does look nearly exactly the same. Its from RB Model for the Object 279

Concerned it will fit, other wise I'd buy it in a heart beat. If my memory is right, the Object 279 was 130mm, while the T-10 was 122mm, so there might be a size/fit issue.

I also looked at the voyager update set, I don't think it comes with a turned barrel. I think they grey primed the kit parts for both sets.

In the other pictures on their website you can see the "vbs0198" and their VBS products are gun barrels aren't they? Maybe its the 14.5mm KPWT but i hope it's the gunbarrel.

cheers Chris

btw. i have the 130mm gun barrel in stash, tomorrow after work i'll try to find out if its suitable.

Okay... i don't think you can use the RB Model barrel.. the muzzle break is longer, the gun barrel is thicker and nearly 3cm longer, the smoke aspirator is longer and thicker. Thats it.

So it seems we have to wait for the M-62 gun barrel.
