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 weapon – 13 mm Type 93:

The 13 mm Type 93 heavy machine gun was a Japanese short-range anti-aircraft weapon used in the early period of the Second World War. It was mounted in single and twin positions on Imperial Japanese Navy ships. The design was based on a French Hotchkiss gun, and over time the weapon was supplemented by 25 mm guns.
