can I use the RB T-72 barrel on a T-80?

I have RB models T-72 barrel (35B102). Is it correct to use on the Trumpeter T-80 kit. To my untrained eye, the kit barrel and the metal barrel look the same, but I wasn't sure. Thanks.

Is what I am using on both the T-64's and T-80B and BV. It is a variant of the 2A46 so I would think it will work just fine.

Oooo...it would work on the T-64? I have the Trump mod 1981 kit and the kit barrel was a pain to sand and get smooth!

http://fofanov.armor.kiev.ua/Tanks/ARM/2a46.html Take a peek there. I think that is a fairly accurate list. Have to wait till a "Red Head" chimes in to be sure.

Hi;

IMHO the RB Barrel is Inaccurate, Read the Topic on the 2A46. As we have already discussed the Better choice would be one of the other Am offerings, Model Point, Voyager, and even Accurate Armor have better 2A46s.

CHEERS; MIKE.
