German 12.8cm L/61 barrels for FlaK 40 Zwilling Anti-Aircraft Gun

I want to add that the barrel opening is rifled. 🙂 The barrel opening is about 10mm or so deep with a rifling pattern, before hitting plain aluminium. So best make sure to paint some matte black at the deep end inside the barrels, so it doesn't stay shiny there. The Eduard photo etch has parts for adding rifling, but this whole metal barrels is much nicer not having to fiddle with the photo etch inside the barrel openings for the plastic parts.

Btw, the Takom kit comes with 1 rubber cap (and 1 spare cap), that slows down the rotation of the barrels, which I guess won't cause any issue with the metal barrels adding weight, though they might be balanced already on their own the way they fit onto the whole thing, haven't gotten that far yet. Anyway the plastic cap will probably guarantee a prevention of any sagging of the two metal barrels I think.
