seems to be the Design Rocky, as UK said, the barrel will not depress or raise much...same on my 222 and 007 versions...but be that as it may, it is a most outstanding model of the Tiger 1, no?
The sign of a great model is that one’s eye is not drawn to any one feature, yet one can study it for hours and continually find something new.

The barrel on my #007 Wittman barely elevates. I had the barrel slightly elevated for months, but then it sagged to a level position. I tried Elmers Glue and stuffing things under the mantlet to get it to stay up, but nothing worked. Finally, I tried brute force and the barrel is now elevated again.

PICKELHAUBE:

So far the cannon has stayed in the elevated position for over a week. Before I forced it, it would stay elevated for only a few minutes.

Mine does the same thing. It was made to move, and if you take it apart you can see that it was. it looks like they deemed the gun too heavy for that and stuck little locking plugs in there so it doesn't move
