Our thanks to The Airbrush Company for supplying our review sample. Get this great upgrade set here now at: www.airbrushes.com
Note: We’ll be incorporating this update set into our build of the Krupp PAK 44 – so keep an eye on Build Now.
Initial Assessment
The update set comes in a very sturdy cardboard box and on opening it there is a single card; cellophane wrapped which holds the four polished parts of aluminium to make up the barrel. This is wrapped in bubble wrap to protect the parts from damage in transit.
Accuracy
I have no scale plans of this weapon but from comparison of photographs it looks to be pretty on the mark.
Quality
All parts are extremely well engineered with no blemishes on the highly polished surface finish.
Instructions
None provided, though construction is self evident as this is a direct replacement for the kit parts.
Decals
There are no decals included in this update set.
Conclusions
There is no rifling on the inside of the barrel but this is not a problem as with the muzzle break fitted it can’t be seen.
I suspect all parts will fit together well with no gaps and with the minimum amount of glue.
I think that with the highly polished surface a good primer will be required to ensure the paint adheres to the surface.
I am a believer in the use of metal barrels as I have never been happy with the joint clean up of the two part plastic barrels, so this update set will certainly enhance the GWH PAK44 as it is such a large barrel. Also, keep an eye on Build Now where the Great Wall Hobby PAK44 will be built incorporating this excellent metal barrel.
Highly Recommended.
