I am building a Paladin from Italeri. Its the A6 version. BAsed on pictures I saw on the web there is some form of a collar on the barrel near the mantlet. Can anybody help me with the dimension? This collar or ring seems to be very near the turret mantlet. Is there a company that sells one in plastic. Barrel depot barrel doesnt have the ring/collar. Thanks.

I think you mean this ring.


I don't know of anyone who makes one in plastic, PE, or resin. It is easy to make from plastic sheet styrene though. All you have to do is cut out a couple rings and add them to the barrel. You can also replicate it with some thick styrene cut into a 1mm square rod. Wrap it around the barrel and glue the ends together.

Good luck with it.

Apparently, Voyager just released a barrel set for the paladin



It looks like it has the rings in it.
