The ABER 1/700 German 20mm C/38 Gun Barrels Set features precisely crafted metal parts designed for detailing and enhancing plastic model kits of warships in 1/700 scale. This product is an excellent enhancement for discerning modelers striving for maximum realism in their dioramas and ship models.
This gun barrel set, produced by ABER, is designed as a direct replacement for the standard, often simplified or less detailed, plastic 20mm C/38 gun barrels commonly found on German naval vessels from World War II.
Key Product Features and Application
Precision Detailing: The set includes 18 metal 20mm C/38 gun barrels, significantly increasing the model's level of detail and realism, accurately reflecting the authentic appearance of the armament.
High Detail: Unlike plastic parts, these metal barrels feature crisp details and precise manufacturing, which is crucial for miniature components in 1/700 scale.
No Mold Lines: Metal components do not have visible seam lines, a common issue with plastic moldings. This eliminates the need for time-consuming sanding, filling, and other cleanup, saving time and simplifying assembly.
Material Durability: Crafted from metal, these barrels offer greater durability and resistance to damage compared to delicate plastic barrels.
Technical Specification and Assembly
The barrels are made from high-quality metal, ensuring their detail and strength. Assembling metal parts requires the use of appropriate tools and materials. For attaching the barrels to the model, and possibly to each other, cyanoacrylate (CA) glue is recommended. Alternatively, for advanced modelers, metal components can also be joined by soldering, which provides an exceptionally durable and aesthetically pleasing connection.
Compatibility and Extensions
The ABER gun barrel set is designed for a wide range of plastic model kits of German warships in 1/700 scale, on which 20mm C/38 guns were mounted. It perfectly complements models from manufacturers such as Tamiya, Hasegawa, Revell, Dragon, Trumpeter, and others. For a complete model detailing experience, we also recommend exploring our range of other detailing elements, such as photo-etched sets (e.g., railings, radars, ladders), metal towing cables, or crew miniatures, which will further enhance the appearance of your finished vessel.
