Application and Benefits
Metal barrels serve as direct replacements for their plastic counterparts, which often feature simplified details or visible seam lines after assembly from two halves. Using these parts eliminates the need for filling and sanding, which is typical when working with plastic components. Metal barrels stand out with their sharp, precise details and the absence of unsightly mold lines, significantly enhancing the realism and overall quality of the finished model.
This product is intended for modelers aiming for accurate armament representation in their projects, especially for models of surface vessels from the World War II era.
Assembly and Finishing
It is recommended to assemble metal parts using cyanoacrylate (CA) glue, which ensures a strong and durable bond. Metal components can also be joined together by soldering, which further increases the structural strength.
Once installed, the barrels can be painted according to the historical color scheme of the specific Schnellboot Typ S-100 model's armament. There are no specific paints for the barrels themselves, as they should match the overall camouflage of the vessel and its guns.
For comprehensive model enhancement, we encourage you to explore our complementary range of modeling accessories. These include photo-etched parts, metal tow cables, and crew miniatures, which will further enrich the appearance of your Schnellboot Typ S-100 model, creating a cohesive and realistic diorama or a standalone display piece.
