The Master 1:200 Japanese 25mm Anti-Aircraft Gun Barrels (Metal) set is a high-quality detailing accessory designed for naval modeling enthusiasts. This MASTER product is specifically crafted to precisely enhance plastic warship models in 1/200 scale. The package contains 20 highly detailed metal gun barrels, significantly boosting the realism and aesthetics of your replicas.
Key Features and Benefits
Exceptional Detail: Each metal barrel is precisely crafted, replicating the finest details of the Japanese 25mm anti-aircraft guns, which is difficult to achieve with standard plastic parts.
Perfect Plastic Alternative: Metal barrels effectively replace their plastic counterparts, which often feature simplified shapes and lower accuracy.
No Mold Seams: Unlike many plastic parts that require sanding and the use of modeling putties to remove visible mold seams, these metal barrels are cast as a single, seamless component. This eliminates the need for time-consuming preparation and provides a clean, ready-to-assemble part.
Ready for Use: The product requires no additional filling or sanding, saving time and simplifying assembly.
Increased Durability: Made from metal, these parts offer greater resistance to mechanical damage compared to delicate plastic components.
Application and Compatibility
Master metal barrels are designed for detailing a wide range of warship models, especially those representing Imperial Japanese Navy vessels from World War II equipped with 25mm guns. The product is fully compatible with models in 1/200 scale, ensuring a perfect fit and accurate proportions for your existing model structures.
Material and Assembly Methods
The parts are made from high-quality metal, guaranteeing their precision, sharpness of detail, and durability. For attaching the metal barrels to your model or other metal parts, the use of cyanoacrylate (CA) glue is recommended, as it provides a strong and durable bond. It is also possible to join the components by soldering, which offers even greater mechanical strength.
Expanding Detailing Possibilities
For even more comprehensive detailing and realism for your model, we encourage you to explore our complementary range of photo-etched parts, precise metal tow cables, and miniatures in the appropriate scale. Combining these products with Master metal barrels will enable you to create an exceptionally realistic and detailed ship replica, enriched with finely crafted details.
