In the past i`ve alway`s scratched out a fairly decent barrel out of the Tamiya and Academy kits.But in my oppinion they just don`t cut the mustard.I`m almost posative that there aren`t any after market offerings out there,at least in aluminium,so does anyone know of any way to improve apon the 90MM barrel with the T-shaped deflector?

How about trying to scratch one out of various diameters of Evergreen styrene tubing?

I did that with the bore evacuater and the exhaust deflecter but had to use academy`s barral because of the taper.A lot of work for just OK results.It would be really nice if Jordie R. came out with one but considering how old the M48A3 kits are it`s seems unlikely.

Thanks Grizzly!
Brassberrals is just the ticket I`ve been looking for.
I`ve emailed Mike and I`m waiting on his reply .
I`ll also post any results and hopefully pictures of my Pattons.
