Hello AFV aficionados, I've got kind of a pressing issue pertaining to this kit and was wondering if anyone knew of a proper solution. I procured this kit, in addition to a Tamiya Lee & Tiger I, for my son as graduation gifts. He was positively ecstatic! As we perused over the parts and took stock of what the situation with the decals was like we realized that the cannon on this thing was molded in halves; Both my son and I groaned upon this realization.

I've long known about the issue of barrels molded like this as well as the solution of turned metal parts and thought "Oh, that's a pretty simple matter to deal with!" Therefore I offered to replace it with a turned metal barrel. After all, it was my bad for not looking deeply enough into the kit before purchasing it as a present for such an auspicious day.

Unfortunately it appears that all of the turned metal barrels designed for this kit are out of production! Given that it was re-released fairly recently has any company released another barrel for it? Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer. 🙂

I've had good luck using this product, even on decals from the 1950's: microscale.com/Merch..ategory_Code=FINPROD

Thanks for the tip Ben but these look like they might've taken some water damage, we'll see though. I'll have him try sun bleaching them for a few weeks first and see how they look afterwards.

Additionally I said that maybe aftermarket decals would be better anyway is partly also due to the fact that the barrel suggested above doesn't exactly match the one from the kit. The kit parts look like a 76mm with a thread protector at it's business end. Therefore if he opts to go for one with a muzzle brake he'll need decals to match that vehicle. Unless of course they applied/removed muzzle brakes according to the situation? I honestly don't know, I didn't even know there was such a thing as a thread protector on Sherman barrels until this whole thing came about. Ask me the difference between B-17s, most Bf-109s, Spitfires or what have you and I'm pretty confident in my knowledge; AFVs are just that far removed from my area of study! 😄

Incidentally I've been relying on the suggested product for many years now. I had a very bitter experience at the end of elementary school when some Hungarian decals that came with a Testors Ju-86E shattered as soon as they hit the water. Those weren't even that old really given when I built it back then. Anyway, someone told me about this product when I was in my early twenties and ever since then I've been an avid user of many of Microscale's products. I have another of those Testors kits in my stash, with those same exact decals, this time I'll be prepared for it!

Kristal Klear is another of their amazing products. It's saved me so much time when dealing with small windows and allow you to detail the interior of model aircraft much easier than when dealing with parts that have large joining surfaces. Furthermore it's typically more clear than those sorts of parts anyway and so allows those details to be more readily apparent. I also learned that it works well as a glue for canopies. 😉
