Greetings everyone.
Being the painfully slow builder I am, I am slowly working through things on the Meng King Tiger. Does anyone have a personal recommendation for a replacement barrel with a brass muzzle brake? I am building the Porsche turret version. There seem to be so many options but few mention they are directly for the Meng kit as opposed to the Takom.
All suggestions welcome.
Many thanks

Maybe ABER?
35 L-013n 88 mm Kwk 43/2 L/71 barrel for German Heavy Tank Tiger B Porsche-Turm, with Early Muzzle Brake
The newer kits are accurate enough that they could swap most parts and still be OK. The ABER will probably fit either kit. The part where it attaches to the breach might be different but since that fit is internal, you could easily modify that part because it is unseen.
