RB Model 35B09 76.2mm ZIS-5 L/42 KV-1 (m. 1941-42) KV-1 S, KV-S 1/35 – Metal barrel for Soviet tank

The precision metal barrel RB Model 35B09 designed for KV-1 tank models armed with the 76.2mm ZIS-5 L/42 cannon is an indispensable modeling accessory for all hobbyists assembling historical Soviet vehicles in 1/35 scale. This product was created to accurately depict the details of the historical gun mounted on the KV-1 (Russian: КВ-1) tank version 1941-1942 and the KV-1 S and KV-S variants, used by the Red Army during some of the most intense battles of World War II.

The barrel is made from high-quality brass using precision micro-lathe turning. This manufacturing process ensures excellent geometry, sharp details, and perfect representation of the original 76.2 mm ZIS-5 caliber proportions, used notably during the battles of Moscow, Stalingrad, and Kursk. Unlike plastic alternatives, metal barrels retain a perfectly smooth surface and require no seam retouching after assembly. Additionally, the proper balance and material durability further enhance the quality of the finished model.

The barrel fits Soviet tank models from the World War II era, especially those produced by the most renowned 1/35 scale plastic model manufacturers: Tamiya, Trumpeter, Zvezda, and HobbyBoss. This allows you to easily increase your kit's realism and achieve an authentic finish with the distinctive, finely detailed ZIS-5 gun barrel used in Soviet tanks. It is also perfect for historical dioramas of the Eastern Front.
