Turned metal barrels – a quick upgrade for your model

Swapping the plastic barrels for turned metal ones improves the geometry and sharpness of detail at the main artillery turrets. The short version corresponds to the correct barrel length in this variant and helps achieve the correct look of the model.

For gluing the barrels it is worth considering cyanoacrylate glue, which bonds metal to plastic well.
