RB Barrels 1/35th Scale 2A42 30mm Cannon for BMP-2

When RB Barrels announced their 2A42, I added this item to my order with Old Dog Models.  I already had one but wanted to compare this to the older barrel.

The first photo shows the typical RB simple packaging.  No header, fancy brand name or instructions, hints, etcetera.

Inside the resealable bag were the two pieces, the brass muzzle brake and the aluminum barrel.  The muzzle brake is beautifully machined and correctly dimensioned to the scale plans in M-Hobby for the BTR-90.  This brake slips onto the turned aluminum barrel.

To attach to a kit, one must drill a 0.97mm (0.038 inch or #62 drill bit) hole into the kit receiver to accept the pin on the replacement barrel.  Simple enough to do and it is an obvious improvement over the kit part (Dragon's BMP-2 turret in this case).
