Just the barrel part. I am going to add it to the Bronco Comet. I looked around for a metal barrel,but no luck.

I am looking for a 1/35 25 pounder barrel.

Well that sort of rules out the Tamiya kit as it has a lot of features molded on to the barrel parts. Is there an aftermarket barrel producer of a metal 25 pdr barrel?

Maybe something other than a 25 pdr barrel would be better? According to Wikipedia - Ordnance QF 25 Pounder (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordnance_QF_25_pounder) page, the bore diameter is 87.6 mm (3.45 in). So that gives you a number of options in the 85-88-90 mm barrel range.
