Turned metal barrels – a quick upgrade for your model

Replacing plastic barrels with turned metal parts is one of the easiest ways to raise the realism of a model. The barrels have even, thin walls and correctly reproduced muzzles, which is hard to achieve with plastic parts.

Cyanoacrylate glue works best for assembly, bonding metal to plastic securely.

About the ship – HMS Dreadnought:

HMS Dreadnought was a British battleship commissioned in 1906. As the first capital ship, she combined a uniform main battery with turbine propulsion, making her faster and more heavily armed than earlier battleships.

Her name came to describe an entire generation of warships, and older battleships became known as pre-dreadnoughts. Dreadnought had a notable influence on the naval arms race before the First World War.
