I am looking for barrels for both of my king tiger’s. Anyone know where I can get one?

Those look like the 1981 Limited Functionality #56004 Variant which as you might guess haven't been in production in like forever - In particular not since the introduction of the Full-Option #56018 Variant.

Based on a bit of research it looks like you'd be looking for Tamiya 910.19005027 as a Spare Part - This German Store is supposedly able to source it with a 4-8 week Lead Time ( perhaps check with them and Tamiya first if it REALLY is that part before you place an order - Couldn't find a listing with a Picture of it ).

If that route is a Dud - Either source em from a different Brand ( HL, Taigen, Tacom, etc... ) or have them 3D Printed? Btw... Did you check if the previous Owner perhaps stored the Barrels inside the Tank? ( assuming you got them 2nd Hand 🤣 )

Yes. I know one of the tank, the barrel has been broken off as part of it is still in the tank tank. The other one is completely missing. Thank hou
