The offered set Master SM-700-031 France 152 mm/55 (6in) Model 1930 (9pcs) is a top-class accessory dedicated to models of French Navy ships in 1:700 scale. The set includes nine precision-turned barrels made of high-quality brass, which are a faithful reproduction of the 152 mm Model 1930 guns used on the most important French battleships and cruisers during World War II.

Brief Historical Description: The 152 mm/55 Model 1930 gun was one of the key medium-caliber armaments in the French fleet, used mainly as universal artillery on battleships such as Richelieu and Jean Bart, light cruisers of the Emile Bertin type, as well as the entire series of La Galissonniere-class cruisers (La Galissonniere, Georges Leygues, Jean de Vienne, Marseillaise, Gloire). Originally also designed for the cruiser De Grasse, it was eventually replaced by newer twin 127 mm turrets. This type of armament was used extensively in combat operations during World War II and the early post-war period.

Application and Compatibility: This set fits perfectly with models of the battleships Richelieu, Jean Bart, and the cruisers Emile Bertin and La Galissonniere class, providing a much higher level of realism to your model than standard plastic parts. Installation is simple – just remove the original plastic barrel from the model, drill a hole, and mount the brass barrel using cyanoacrylate glue.

Product Advantages:

• Exceptional manufacturing precision – brass barrels guarantee durability and excellent detail for the 1:700 scale
• Easy installation even for less experienced modelers
• Significantly enhances the realism of French World War II ship models
• The perfect addition for any collector and advanced warship modeler

Build Difficulty: 2/5 – Installation does not require advanced skills, only basic modeling knowledge and tools for drilling plastic.

We especially recommend this product to intermediate and advanced modelers who are looking for the highest quality accessories for faithfully representing French warships in microscale. Master metal barrels significantly enhance the finish and collector value of your completed model.
