We present a high-quality turned metal barrel RB Model 35B68 8.8 cm KwK 44 L/71, dedicated for the German E-50 tank in 1/35 scale. This product from the Polish manufacturer RB Model features exceptional precision, ensuring perfect reproduction of the original details. The metal barrel is made by machining high-grade brass on a micro lathe, ensuring not only dimensional accuracy but also outstanding durability and aesthetics difficult to achieve with standard plastic parts.

Purpose and Historical Information

The 35B68 barrel model fits the E-50 vehicle – a German prototype medium tank from the final period of World War II. The E-50 was part of the so-called Einheitsfahrgestell Panzer (E-Series), which aimed to standardize the designs of the Third Reich’s armored vehicles. The E-50 remained at the prototype stage and was never mass-produced, but its concept and planned armament—including the KwK 44 L/71 88 mm gun—are considered the pinnacle of German armored engineering, intended for late-war German army service.
