Precise MASTER metal gun barrels in 1/350 scale are the ideal detailing set for ship modeling enthusiasts. Dedicated to Japanese 12.7cm/40 Type 89 guns, these barrels significantly enhance the detail level of plastic warship models.
Key Features and Application
The set includes 12 metal gun barrels, designed for installation in gun turrets equipped with blast shields. Master barrels are a direct replacement for their plastic counterparts, offering a range of benefits:
Exceptional Detail: Metal components replicate details unavailable in standard plastic parts.
No Seam Lines: Elimination of visible mold lines, which are typical for two-part plastic barrels.
No Cleanup Required: No need for sanding, filling, or removing flash, which saves time and simplifies assembly.
Realism: The metal material adds authentic weight and appearance to the model.
Technical Specifications
The barrels replicate Japanese 12.7 cm naval guns with a length of 40 calibers (Type 89), which were commonly used on destroyers, cruisers, and battleships of the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II.

Assembly Instructions
For a strong bond between metal parts and the model, or among themselves, the use of cyanoacrylate (CA) glue is recommended. For modelers seeking maximum strength and precision, parts can also be joined by soldering.
