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 – 25 mm Type 96:

The 25 mm Type 96 anti-aircraft gun was the primary Japanese short-range AA weapon during the Second World War. It was mounted in single, twin and triple mounts on almost all Imperial Japanese Navy ships. The weapon was based on a French Hotchkiss design, and its numbers on Japanese ships were increased as the war went on.
