The Master metal gun barrels set in 1/700 scale is a precise detail enhancement part, designed to upgrade plastic model warships. The product includes 16 gun barrels dedicated to British QF Mark VIII guns, which were equipped on famous ships such as HMS Nelson and HMS Courageous.
These high-quality, turned metal parts offer an excellent alternative to standard plastic gun barrels found in model kits. Their use significantly elevates the level of realism and detail of your built model.
Key product features:
Material: The barrels are made from durable and precisely machined metal, ensuring unparalleled detail sharpness and high durability.
Precision and Details: Unlike their plastic counterparts, these metal barrels feature a perfectly round cross-section and no visible mold lines. This eliminates the need for additional preparation such as filling or sanding.
Ease of Assembly: The absence of time-consuming preliminary preparation accelerates the building process and makes it easier to achieve a professional finish.
Compatibility: This set is perfectly matched for HMS Nelson and HMS Courageous ship models in 1/700 scale, guaranteeing a perfect fit and historical accuracy.
Quantity in package: The complete set includes 16 gun barrels, allowing for a comprehensive replacement of all QF Mark VIII guns on the modeled ships.
Application and Assembly Recommendations:
The primary purpose of Master metal gun barrels is to replace less detailed, often two-part molded, plastic armament components. Thanks to the use of metal, the barrels are more resistant to mechanical damage.
For a durable bond between the metal barrels and plastic model parts, the use of cyanoacrylate adhesive is recommended. For more advanced modelers, it's also possible to join metal parts using soldering, which provides exceptionally strong and aesthetic joints.
Expand Your Detailing Possibilities:
For comprehensive detailing and to achieve maximum model realism, we recommend combining Master metal gun barrels with other specialized accessories. Our selection includes a wide range of photo-etched parts sets, precise metal towing cables, and realistic crew figures, which will further enhance the appearance of your ship and allow you to create an incredibly realistic diorama.
