Master SM-700-057 is a set of nine precisely rendered barrels for American 8in/55 (20.3 cm) Mark 9 naval guns in the popular 1:700 scale. This product is designed with modelers in mind who are building replicas of United States Navy heavy cruisers from the interwar period and World War II. The barrels are dedicated to models of such ships as Lexington (aircraft carrier with cruiser armament), Pensacola, Northampton, early New Orleans, and Indianapolis.

The original 8in/55 Mark 9 guns were key elements in the armament of American heavy cruisers. They formed the backbone of the firepower of vessels that served from the late 1920s through battles in the Pacific and Atlantic during World War II. Notable ships like the USS Indianapolis and Northampton-class vessels participated in the most significant naval operations of the era—including the Battle of the Coral Sea and the Guadalcanal landings.

The set, produced by the renowned Polish company Master, is made of high-grade CNC-turned brass. Each barrel thus features flawless, realistic geometry, ideal detailing, and durability unmatched by any plastic equivalent. The product contains no resin or plastic parts—all components are made of metal.
