Introduced in the early 1930s, they were mainly used as intermediate armament or heavy secondary artillery. They served for surface target bombardment and, to a limited extent, for anti-aircraft defense. The particularly famous battleships Yamato and Musashi, as the largest battleships in the world, were equipped with these barrels, as was the modern cruiser Oyodo.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCountry of use: Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eHistorical period: World War II (1939–1945)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eProduct scale: 1:700\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCategory: modeling accessories, gun barrel set for plastic models\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMaterial: high-grade precision-turned brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNumber of barrels in set: 12 pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eExtras: The set does not include any resin or photo-etched parts – these are exclusively brass barrels that improve the accuracy of details\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    Barrel installation is extremely simple: just cut off the plastic equivalents from the model, drill a hole, and glue in the barrels using cyanoacrylate adhesive (e.g., Super Glue).
