Historical Information

HMS Roberts was a British monitor designed to provide naval gunfire support for land forces, especially during amphibious landings. The vessel entered service in 1941 and was armed with two powerful 15-inch guns and eight dual-purpose 4-inch guns. HMS Roberts took part in landings in North Africa, Sicily, Normandy (D-Day), and in breaking the Gothic Line in Italy.

Advantages of the Master SM-350-080 set

• Metal barrels offer exceptional precision and thin walls, impossible to achieve with plastic components.
• Material durability – the metal barrels do not break, deform, or degrade over time as plastic does.
• The set allows for easy replacement – simply remove the plastic barrel, drill a hole, and glue the new metal part in place with cyanoacrylate adhesive.
• Greatly enhances the realism of the finished model and increases its collector value.
• Perfectly replicates the original World War II era barrels.

Who is it for?

We recommend this set for intermediate and advanced ship modelers. Proper installation requires manual skills and basic modeling tools. This is an excellent choice for those who want their HMS Roberts model to stand out from standard versions with plastic barrels and are striving for a perfect final effect.
