Aber 1:350L-37 – turned 127 mm barrels with recoil for Japanese ships

This set contains 8 turned metal barrels in 127 mm calibre with modelled recoil, intended for Japanese ships. A turned metal barrel improves the geometry and appearance of gun positions in 1:350 scale, and the modelled recoil lets you show the barrels in the post-firing position.

Replacing plastic barrels with turned metal ones is a simple way to raise the quality of a model. To fit the barrels we suggest using cyanoacrylate glue, which bonds metal to plastic well.
