The Master SM-200-004 IJN 10cm/65 (3.9in) Type 98 barrels (8pcs) set is a high-quality modelling accessory dedicated to Japanese warships in 1:200 scale. This product is designed for plastic models manufactured by Nichimo, representing the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN). These parts enable a professional reproduction of the 10cm/65 (3.9in) Type 98 artillery armament—one of the most modern anti-aircraft guns used by Japan during World War II.

The Type 98 100mm gun was introduced to service between 1938–1945, during World War II. It was used, among others, on Yamato-class battleships, Shōkaku-class aircraft carriers, and Akizuki-class destroyers. Its advanced design and high rate of fire provided effective protection against air attacks, especially during operations in the Pacific. The historical use of these guns includes, among others, the Battle of the Philippine Sea and the defense of Okinawa.
