  • HOW TO ADDRESS BROKEN GUN BARREL?

    Hi all,

    I accidentally broke the small machine gun at the base. What is the best way to address short of buying a whole plastic set? Isn't it a simple clear rod painted black outside? Dai

    Depends on the tank. on some it's just black plastic.

      This is on the King Tiger and this is where the LED flashes through. I think all tanks with machine gun barrels have LED. Dai

        Some have the LED in the turret not through a piece of acrylic fiber optic rod.

          Hi all,

          I think these fiber optic rods when painted black will serve well. I will have to measure to see what the diameter is. These are available from 0.5mm to 2mm in diameter. Dai

              On the King Tiger like all other tanks I have, the gun barrel is a clear fiber optic rod painted black that is inserted into a hole. Dai

                Thank you for the link. I went ahead and ordered three as these are METAL barrels and scale too! Dai
