Help finding an L7 gun (with thermal sleeve)...

Is for my T-55 Samovar project… I need an L7 gun with thermal sleeve, like the Merkava I/II’s or M60’s… Is there any available?.. Or maybe I must cannibalize ir from other kit?.. Thanks in advance. Most regards.

I’m afraid you’re out of luck on that one! There are no resin ones that are singly available. If you were in the US I’d send you one of the Academy ones that I have on spare. You will have to go and purchase either a Merkava I or II or any of the kits that have the barrel in them. It’s been a long sour issue with IDF modelers, but once you get a few conversions under your belt, the plastic ones will pile up, and you’ll have a spares box full of them! Sorry to bear you bad news!

Accurate Armour make the M68 105mm as used on the M-60. As this was a license built version of the British L7 this might be what you are looking for.
