Master SM-700-034 British 6in/50 (15.2 cm) BL Mark XXII (12pcs) – Set of 1:700 Scale Metal Barrels

The Master SM-700-034 British 6in/50 (15.2 cm) BL Mark XXII set is an excellent choice for modelers seeking the highest level of realism in miniature warships at the 1:700 scale. It includes 12 precisely turned brass barrels, designed for use on models of British battleships from the interwar and World War II periods—most notably the legendary ships HMS Nelson and HMS Rodney.

The offered metal barrels replicate the medium-caliber armament—low-pressure 6-inch/50 (15.2 cm) BL Mark XXII guns that were installed on these battleships. They served as an essential supplement to the main 16-inch artillery, being used against smaller vessels and as fire support during Royal Navy naval operations. Such guns were used, among other actions, during the Mediterranean campaign and the Battle of the Atlantic.

The Master SM-700-034 set is an indispensable addition for scale modelers who care about meticulous detail in their builds. The metal barrels are made of high-quality precision-turned brass. Installation in your model is very simple: just cut off the plastic barrel from the model armament, drill a hole, and glue the brass barrel in with CA (cyanoacrylate) adhesive. The result is an extremely realistic final effect, significantly surpassing the standard plastic detailing.
