Hello everybody,
Which aftermarket gun barrel would fit the Tamiya's Mobelwagen? I am talking about the production version fitted with 37mm Flak 43 L/89. I know Aber makes one (AB35L10 FLAK 43 37mm ). Would this be OK for the Tamiya kit (Kit #35237) ?

Hi,
The Schatton-Modelbau Flak 43 barrel is the best looking one on the market, IMHO. You have to order it right from them though via email. Here is the web address:
http://www.modellbau-schatton.privat.t-online.de/html/preisliste.html

Scroll down to item 3503.
The page is in German so run it through babelfish to see a translated page if neccessary and I believe the prices are listed in Euro's.
You can see a detailed review of their 20mm barrel on PMMS to get an idea of their quality. There is also a comparison review of 20mm barrels on PMMS and the Schatton barrels really shine. HTH.

Thanks for your heads up on Schatton-Modelbau. I will keep them in mind for my next round. For now I got Aber's barrel, the 35L-10 item. It looks awesome. Lots of detail. I just can't wait to get home and see how it fits.
