I'm not a absolute purist about it the details so in general close enough is good enough for me.<br /><br />For the Firefly, its interesting you mention that because I have the same issue with a lot of the later German tanks as well. My solution is to take a very thin piece of paperclip, drill out the muzzle and then pin the muzzle to the barrel. It does take a bit of effort to file both ends smooth, but it looks pretty good when it is all said and done.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497161.post-19518589618522418182011-03-23T17:48:04.061-05:002011-03-23T17:48:04.061-05:00Hi, been replaceing cast barrels on tanks for yea...Hi, been replaceing cast barrels on tanks for years.
