Turned metal barrels – a quick upgrade for your model

Replacing the plastic deck gun and periscopes with turned metal parts is a simple way to raise the realism of a submarine model. The metal parts have thin walls and correct proportions that are hard to achieve in plastic.

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