The Master 1:350 British 15in/42 Mark I Metal Barrels set is a precise detailing accessory designed for naval modelers. The pack contains 8 pieces of highly detailed metal barrels, intended for enhancing and upgrading plastic model warships in 1/350 scale. This product is especially recommended for gun turrets that do not feature blast bags.
Product Features and Application
MASTER metal barrels are an excellent replacement for the standard, often simplified, plastic counterparts included in model kits. Their main advantage is their high level of detail and the complete absence of visible mold lines, which are common with plastic parts. As a result, the barrels do not require time-consuming processing such as filling or sanding, which significantly speeds up the model's construction process and enhances its final aesthetic appeal.
