Turned metal barrels – a quick upgrade for your model

Replacing the plastic barrels with turned metal ones improves the look of the 100 mm dual-purpose artillery and the numerous small 25 mm anti-aircraft gun barrels. It is an effective way to raise the finish level of the destroyer model.

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