After mucking up my kit barrel for the DML 1/35th Hummel, I went looking for aftermarket options.
I found surprisingly few considering it's popularity and relative simplicity.

Jordi Rubio in stock at VLS
Armo in stock at Air Connection
Fine Molds listed as out of stock from HLJ

Has anyone out there used any of these? How was the fit?

I was surprised to find nothing from Aber, Model Point, or Eduard - any of which I would prefer to use.

I didn't see any thing from CMK/Hot Barrels.

Are there other Hummel aftermarket barrels out there I should consider?

Mike

You could try contacting Dragon customer service and ask them to replace it. (Just tell them that the parts were deformed, or warped beyond repair, on the sprue. ) It's worth a shot!

If I'm not mistaken Lion Roar makes one for the kit.
