Turned metal barrels – a quick upgrade for your model

The 2 cm turned barrels together with the mount shields allow a faithful reproduction of the quadruple anti-aircraft guns whose small barrels are difficult to render in plastic. It is a convenient way to raise the finish level of the model.

For assembling the barrels and shields it is worth considering cyanoacrylate glue, which bonds the metal parts to plastic well.
