RB Model 35B51 is a precisely crafted 155mm L/39 metal barrel designed for the British AS-90 self-propelled howitzer model in the popular 1/35 scale. This high-quality accessory is intended to enhance any plastic AS-90 model, giving it outstanding detail and realism that standard kit parts do not provide.

The AS-90 (Artillery System for the 1990s) is a 155 mm self-propelled howitzer used by the British Army since the early 1990s. It was officially adopted by the British Armed Forces in 1992 and has since participated in operations such as Iraq (Operation Telic) and Kosovo. This design has been one of the mainstays of British self-propelled artillery in the post-Cold War era – that is, in contemporary times.

The RB Model 35B51 product is manufactured using precision turning on a micro lathe from high-grade metal, which ensures not only perfectly reproduced details but also durability and easy assembly. The barrel fits directly onto 1/35 scale AS-90 kits from various manufacturers (e.g., Trumpeter, AFV Club), allowing for a quick replacement of the plastic part with a highly realistic metal component. The lack of mold lines or joining marks makes modeling work much easier and ensures satisfaction with the final result.

• Scale: 1/35
• Material: turned metal – high manufacturing precision
• Dedicated for: AS-90 models (Trumpeter, AFV Club, and others)
• Historical period: modern era, post-1992
• Country of original use: United Kingdom
• Product type: metal barrel, modeling accessory for plastic scale kits

I highly recommend this product to intermediate and advanced modelers who value realism and the highest attention to detail. Replacing the plastic barrel with a metal one is a quick way to increase the aesthetic value and faithful reproduction of the British AS-90. The assembly difficulty level is 2/5 – minimal modeling skills are sufficient to use this upgrade.

Upgrade your AS-90 model with the precise RB Model 35B51 barrel and achieve maximum realism and a professional touch in your diorama or collection!
