Turned metal barrels – a quick upgrade for your model

Replacing the factory plastic barrels with turned metal ones improves the fidelity of three armament calibres – from the heavy 280 mm main gun to the 105 mm artillery. It is a convenient way to raise the finish level of the model.

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