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 – 1.1 in L/75 Mk.1:

The 1.1 in (28 mm) L/75 Mk.1 anti-aircraft gun was an American short-range AA weapon of the period before the Bofors and Oerlikon guns were introduced. It was mounted in quadruple mounts on US Navy ships. Due to the unreliability of its mechanism in combat conditions it was eventually replaced by the newer 40 mm and 20 mm guns.

Technical data of the original:

• Calibre: 1.1 in (28 mm)
• Barrel length: L/75
• Designation: Mk.1
• Role: short-range anti-aircraft gun
