The Master SM-200-003 IJN 12.7cm/40 (5in) Type 89 barrels (8pcs) set is a high-quality model accessory dedicated to faithfully representing Japanese warships from the Second World War in 1:200 scale. The product was designed with models from the renowned manufacturer Nichimo in mind, but it is also ideal for custom projects by modelers who want to increase the realism of their builds.

The offered set includes 8 precisely turned brass barrels, depicting the 12.7cm/40 Type 89 armament – the primary dual-purpose guns of Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) vessels. This barrel type is widely used when modeling historical units such as Shōkaku-class aircraft carriers, Yamato-class battleships, and numerous destroyers that took part in Pacific warfare during 1937–1945.

• High material quality: The barrels are made from turned brass, providing exceptional durability, perfect smoothness, and precise detail reproduction, unattainable with plastic production.
• Easy assembly: To install the barrels, simply remove the factory plastic part from the model kit, drill a hole, and attach the brass piece using cyanoacrylate glue.
• Product category: Accessory – a set of metal barrels for plastic military ship models, particularly for 1:200 scale kits.
• Intended use: The set is recommended for both advanced ship modelers and intermediate enthusiasts who wish to enhance the realism of their projects. Using these barrels increases the value and authenticity of your replica, making your model stand out from others.
• Assembly difficulty level: 2/5 – basic skills in handling modeling tools and careful drilling required.

Master SM-200-003 is the perfect choice for those who want to accurately reproduce IJN ship armament details from the Second World War. The metal barrels replicate the original excellently, are durable and resistant to deformation, and their installation greatly improves the appearance of the model. For collectors and naval history enthusiasts, this is a must-have addition!
