T-26 20K Gun Barrel

There are no more hunters to bother with masks, but there are plenty of barrel manufacturers. Moreover, the main products of this assortment – forty-fives, are quite versatile: they were installed on all armored vehicles of that period. Some of them have already been included in the kitography of multi-turret tanks, some will be included in the kitography for BT tanks (which I will undoubtedly get to). Well, the part that does not indicate the target model and with a specific indication of the T-26 is below. I’ll start with domestic manufacturers, mainly natives of the Chelyabinsk region. The progenitor and pioneer of the “stem valley” was the now defunct company ModelPoint

Its successor, and it was indicated on the site for some time, became  Magic Models

With her kits, she is ahead of the rest!

Another successor to ModelPoint is Zedval

N35015 Set of parts for the T-26 mod 1933

 

 

 

 

 

It turns out that the weapon kits are not only a feature of Magic Models. Recently, our company ModelGun has been particularly active in this field.

which, exclusively according to my feelings, is also related to the harsh Chelyabinsk men.

And finally: repackaging the Yekaterinburg (in extreme cases, I know it there) store “Мир моделей“.

However, the production of model barrels of the 20K gun is carried out not only on Russian soil.

Not far behind are the Poles from RB Modell with their duo

There are many companies with only one product in the studied range.

I will continue with the Czechs from Elefant

Spanish Jordi Rubio

TG-04 45mm M32/38 Soviet Tank-Gun

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And I’ll end up with the Japanese from FineMolds

MG-38 Soviet army 45mm 20K Model 1932 Gun Barrel

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In an effort to close the 45mm barrel topic, I almost missed the important aspect of ammunition. And here there is little to say. Actually, the founder of this line was a set from the German  New Connection Models

NC 35203 T 26 Ammo set

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Since I didn’t want to leave him alone, I had to search a little and find the following sets: from Russian  MSD Micro Scale Design

MSD 35032 45mm Shells with Ammo Boxes

 

 

 

 

 

 

Canadian Hussar Productions

35005 45mm Russian Ammunition

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and Ukrainian MiniArt

35073 SOVIET 45-mm SHELLS w/AMMO BOXES

 

 

 

 

 

It is clear that the last ones in this quartet are most likely not for a tank gun, but for the kit I indicated them as well. And you yourself think – you need it or not.
