We hear often that competition is good for the hobby, providing it's done in a constructive manner.
Well in the world of
2cm Flak38/KwK38 metal barrels it is certainly the case. We have recently seen the superb barrels from
Adlers Nest and
LionMarc/Passion Models that included for the first time the textured barrel changing handgrips on the barrel tube.
Griffon Models already have
2cm Flak38 barrels in their inventory but have gone back to the drawing board and completely redesigned their
2cm Flak38 as well as the
2cm KwK38 barrels with refined details for the flash supressor as well as also including the textured barrel changing handgrips.
Voyager Models have joined the fray by releasing three different
2cm barrels, the
L/60 Flak38, the
L/55 KwK38 and the shorter
L/50 KwK38 all with the textured barrel changing handgrips and other refinements for the flash supressors.
Added to this both
Griffon and
Voyager have redesigned their 20 round magazines for the
Flak38 and the 10 round magazines for the
KwK38 as well as the larger 4 magazine ammo boxes with enhanced details over the previous releases.
This latest generation of 2cm metal barrels from these four companies basically makes all other 2cm barrels obsolete in terms of accuracy and details included and also means I will have to go back to the drawing board with the
2cm barrel comparison review page.
I will be posting individual reviews of the new barrel sets shortly which include sets for the
Flak38 and the
Flakvieling 38 with four barrels in the one set followed by an update of the comparison review to take into account this latest generation of barrels now available.
Stay tuned.
Cheers
