This is the second time a barrel has been released for the Elefant and Ferdinand, the first being from ARMO. However, the ARMO set is of the barrel only, and does not include a muzzle brake as this Aber set does. Both this barrel and the baffle are machined with great precision. I measured the piece, and compared to the drawings in the Panzer Tracts volume on Jagdpanzers (by Jentz and Doyle), it is about a millimeter too long, which is perfectly acceptable to me. This is a great piece, and will work equally well for any of the Ferdinand or Elefant kits available from Dragon, Trumpeter or Italeri.

Thank you very much to Rafal Niedzielski for the providing the review item.
