The Master SM-350-005 IJN 46cm/45 (18.1in) Type 94 barrels set is a high-quality pack of nine precisely turned artillery barrels in 1:350 scale, designed for use in models of the legendary Japanese battleships IJN Yamato and IJN Musashi. The offered barrels are replicas of the famous 460 mm/45 Type 94 main guns – the largest ever mounted on warships.

The Japanese battleships Yamato and Musashi were the pride of the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II. Ordered in the interwar period, they entered service in 1941–1942. Massive and powerful, they set a new standard for naval firepower worldwide. They took part in the most important Pacific operations, including the Battle of Leyte and the final battles of 1945, symbolizing the might of Japanese battleships.
