Turned metal barrels – a quick upgrade for your model

Replacing plastic barrels with turned metal parts is one of the simplest ways to raise the realism of a warship model. Metal barrels have a perfectly round cross-section and crisp, thin muzzles that are hard to reproduce in injection-moulded plastic.

For assembly we suggest cyanoacrylate glue, which bonds metal to plastic well. It is worth cleaning and degreasing the parts before fitting.

About the gun – 20 mm C/38:

The 20 mm C/38 anti-aircraft gun with an L/65 barrel was an improved version of the earlier C/30 and one of the principal German short-range AA weapons during the Second World War. It offered a higher rate of fire than its predecessor. It was fitted both in single mounts and in quadruple Flakvierling mounts on Kriegsmarine ships.

• Calibre: 20 mm
