New muzzle brake

[Ivano Costantini]

Clockwise as you move forward.

I want to clarify that the small bolt appeared in the photograph published by a buyer, is not present in my mouth brake kit. In the presentation photographs there is not.
Thank you

I would like to say on Ivano’s behalf, it was me who contacted him after receiving his Tiger I Muzzle Brake Kit. I saw someone’s posting of the kit, after I had opened mine...but didn’t see that small bolt contained inside. So, I sent him a message requesting a replacement to be sent. All said, this is an outstanding kit, in fact, it’s the best I’ve seen offered to date, of this early version. Ivano has done a great job, and I apologize for not knowing that the recent post showing his parts...contained a part added by the person who purchased his kit.

Ivano,
Might you ever consider producing a Panther tank Muzzle brake? We are in desperate need of a more accurate reproduction than the toy like ones we have!

Hi Jack,
if there are 6/7 reservations I can try to do it, but I need measurements and photos, otherwise it will never go well.
For the Tiger it was easy with David Byrden's measurements, and then it was for my tank, so reservations were not necessary. Talk to your friends and let me know.
Thanks Ivano

It would also be enough to have a 1/16 scale piece.
Does any company produce it correct?

[Jack Hrovatin]

Ivano,
I believe Trumpeters is pretty close in their new 1/16 Panther tank. Certainly better than what “We” have.

Jack,
Enlarge this photo and see if the reproduction is like real

Hi all,

I would be interested in an accurate Panther muzzle that would fit the Armortek barrel.
Count me in if it would be made.

Aber make a good looking one in 1:16.

Kind regards

Ivano,
No, I enlarged that...and it doesn’t look correct. However, Kent’s picture from Aber looks more accurate.

Nobody wants to go to the museum to take measurements? It would be useful for many forum modeling friends.

[Jack Hrovatin]

Or, you can simply use a 1/16 Aber or Trumpeter kit muzzle brake and enlarge it yourself. Museums are going to let you stand on a ladder and use multiple means of measuring this!

ARE NOT going to allow for it!

ARE NOT going to allow for it!

I don't know what museums you visit but the ones I go to will actually allow me an awful lot when I ask nicely!
