Panzer Art GB35-115 D-20 Gun barrel for SP Howitzer 2S3 “Akatsiya” 1/35

The unique D-20 Gun barrel dedicated to the 1/35 scale model of the self-propelled howitzer 2S3 “Akatsiya” – a product from the renowned Panzer Art brand. This specialist replacement has been manufactured from high-quality resin, precisely replicating the details of the real gun. It is intended for demanding modelers aiming to add even more authenticity and realism to their models.

The self-propelled howitzer 2S3 “Akatsiya” was developed in the USSR and officially entered service in 1971, being a characteristic weapon of the late Cold War era. These howitzers were widely used by the Soviet Army and armed forces of many Warsaw Pact countries, as well as in numerous post-Soviet export markets. They took part in many conflicts, from the war in Afghanistan to military actions in the territories of former Soviet republics and also in conflicts in the Middle East.

The realistically reproduced D-20 barrel is a key element because the original D-20 152mm gun is one of the most recognizable artillery pieces of the Cold War. The component offered by Panzer Art features high surface detail quality, correct caliber representation, and the distinct barrel profile. The product uses durable resin, allowing easy processing while guaranteeing strength and a perfect fit to the base model. As a result, the model does not require additional metal polishing as with aluminum barrels and is easier to work with for modeling purposes.
