RB Model 1/350 12 x 152mm (350L08) – Metal Barrel Set for Varyag Model

The RB Model 1/350 12 x 152mm (350L08) set is a high-quality modeling accessory designed for demanding modelers who wish to significantly enhance the level of detail of their 1/350 scale ship replicas. This product has been precisely engineered as a replacement for plastic parts in models of the Russian armored cruiser Varyag, used by the Russian Empire at the beginning of the 20th century.

The base model for which these barrels are intended—the famous cruiser Varyag—gained renown during the Battle of Chemulpo in 1904, in the period of the Russo-Japanese War. This ship became one of the symbols of the Russian fleet and took part in combat operations during the battle for Far Eastern ports.
