The professional aftermarket main battery barrel set Master SM-700-038 USN 14in/45 (35.6 cm) is a premium modeling accessory dedicated to modelers working in the 1:700 scale. The set consists of 12 precisely turned brass barrels that are compatible with battleship models of the New York (BB-34), Texas (BB-35), Nevada (BB-36), Oklahoma (BB-37), Pennsylvania (BB-38), and Arizona (BB-39) classes. This set was created for the most demanding modelers who wish to recreate historical ships of the US Navy with attention to the smallest details.

Historical information and intended use

The presented 14 inch / 45 caliber (35.6 cm) barrels replicate the main artillery of American battleships used during World War I, the interwar period, and the early stage of World War II. New York, Nevada, and Pennsylvania class battleships took part in numerous operations—their most famous representative was the USS Arizona (BB-39), tragically sunk during the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. These elements allow you to precisely capture the atmosphere of American ships from that era, especially since many available kits do not offer a proper depiction of this key piece of weaponry.
