I just bought a kit of a Tamiya M40 self-propelled 155mm gun on ebay. It was one of a few advertised on ebay with a metal gun barrel kit. I got the kit yesterday and there was no metal barrel. I sent the vendor a message that he forgot my metal gun barrel kit. My reply was he didn’t know a metal gun barrel wasn’t included in the kit and he appreciated the heads up and would correct the description he had on Ebay ( no offer to send one) I was going to return but now the other kits that included the metal gun barrels are sold out. Now the kit will cost me $121 because the cheapest metal gun barrel kit I could find with shipping is $31. I just wanted to throw out a warning to be real careful with Ebay because some vendors don’t give out accurate information.
Yes,for sure.
That’s pretty annoying.
Tell him you’ll complain to Paypal and give him a bad rating unless he gets you a gun barrel. I doubt it’ll get you anywhere,
Or, demand a refund and keep looking. That’s probably what I would do.

Also worth checking out a kit before buying it. As far as i can tell, that kit never came with a metal barrel included, thats sold seperatly. There are US sellers selling that kit for $74 and the gun for just over 20. Not sure how that compares once you throw in postage.
If you see the instructions (top of page 4), it calls the metal barrel a “detail up” part that is not included https://www.tamiyausa.com/media/files/35351-ml-379-42b7.pdf
