Hi, nice build.
Can you say me what is the barrel length ? It seems to be the 52 caliber barrel ?
TIA

You should finish you AS90 as the ones that Sweden trialed from 2001-2003.

They trialed the 52 Calibre version and it looked great in the splinter camouflage.

Thanks,

I've build one some times ago for a UK OIF gun.
But British Army dont have in service any 52 caliber, only 39 (to my knowledge).
I want to change my Accurate Armor gun , to make a real SPG.
The Barrel Depot gun is very nice but it is the same as mine

For my AS 90 I have bought the AA update kit (52 cal gun) + resin tracks (the kit tracks are very bad) and Eduar pe set.
Pics from my kit are here :
