The Aber 35L-173 product is a high-quality turned metal barrel designed for 1/35 scale ZiS-3 A/T gun models. It is dedicated to modelers building replicas of the Soviet ZiS-3 anti-tank gun, used both in the SU-76 self-propelled gun and under the designation FK288(r) when captured and deployed by the German Army during World War II.

The ZiS-3 gun (76.2 mm divizionnaya pushka obr. 1942 g.) was introduced into the Red Army arsenal in 1942, becoming an iconic symbol of effectiveness and production simplicity. Regarded as one of the most important Soviet guns of World War II, it was used on the Eastern Front in anti-tank units and as the main armament of the lightly armored SU-76 self-propelled guns. After being captured by German forces, the ZiS-3 was occasionally used under the name FK288(r), for example, in fortifications or improvised gun positions.
