the Alliance Model Works might get pricey due to import taxes

The Voyager Model PRO35001 set is excellent. Everything you need including a metal barrel.

Inside The Armour also did a very new set with resin and barrel included but it might be difficult to find now.

This may be somewhat self serving, but have a look at the Leopard 2 kit list, specifically the PE section:

I just updated the links to the Alliance sets (they were out of date).

Leopard Workshop bought the rights to the Inside the Armour Leopard 2 barrels and completely re-modelled them.
