Turned metal barrels – a quick upgrade for your model

Replacing the factory plastic barrels with turned metal ones improves detail fidelity both at the 203 mm artillery and the dual-purpose 127 mm guns. It is a convenient way to raise the finish level of the model.

For assembly it is worth considering cyanoacrylate glue, which bonds metal to the plastic of the ship structure effectively.
