Hello all,

Somewhat of a newbie question: I have not used aluminum barrels before on my kits and I was wondering if Aber L08n would be compatible with the Tamiya Ardennes Front Tiger (late version)? Any help would be appreciated!

If so, how might one go about properly aligning the cannon with the tank? The cannon portion that inserts into the mantlet is completely cylindrical.

I used this for my tiger, fits fine to tamiya. I had to replace the original plastic barrel because it broke in half(cat). I had to drill the old piece out. Im certain the fit is fine without the pain of old barrel glued in place.

Alignment should be fine without adjustments.
