I’m building Dragons (#9021) Jagdpanzer IV. It sports a L/48 main gun. I melted mine in half with liquid poly…Want to buy a replacement. Aber makes about 6 replacement set for the L/48 but the kits have muzzle brakes for the Pzkamf IV and Stug III (in early, mid late production runs for both vehicles). Are any of their kits close enough? I assume the Jagd IV/L48 was the same gun in one of the above AFVs…jsut not sure which one is the correct one to order.
OR: Does anyone have a another recomendation (company/brand/make, etc)?
I am pretty sure its the same gun and those barrels would fit. From what i can make out thsoe terms, standard, mid and late are just used by Aber to differentiate between them. Armourscale do the same barrels but use different terms.
I found the right gun by Armorscale it was the PaK39 L/48. But the kit doesn’t have the muzzle brake with it. Any suggestions? Does sombody make a replacement muzzle brake? What a freakin’ pain. I imagine I’ll have to buy anothe kit just to ge tthe dang muzzle brake. Feakin’ poly…
If it doesn’t have the muzzle brake it might not be the right one. There were JagdPz IV both with and without muzzle brakes. Is it possible to salvage the muzzle from the kit gun.
Be careful on the gun designation. The L/48 just describes the barrel length in calibres, it’s not the actual gun designation. The Pak 39 L/48 is very different from the KwK 40 or StuK 40 L/48 even though they are all 7.5cm guns. The Pak 39 is the one you want but not sure if there are any out there that include the muzzle brake since this gun was the one used on the “Hetzer” and is more commonly seen on it without the brake present.
