Master SM-350-013 British 5,25in (133mm) QF Mark I barrels (16pcs) – 1:350

The SM-350-013 British 5,25in (133mm) QF Mark I barrels set, offered by the renowned company Master, features precisely crafted Mark I naval gun barrels in 1:350 scale. This high-quality accessory set is dedicated to modelers wishing to enhance their replicas of British warships from World War II with an exceptional level of detail. The set includes 16 turned brass barrels, perfectly matched in size and detail to the original 5.25-inch (133 mm) guns.

In reality, the QF 5.25 inch Mark I gun was a dual-purpose naval gun used on, among others, King George V-class battleships (e.g., HMS King George V, HMS Prince of Wales), Dido-class anti-aircraft cruisers, and the newest British battleship of World War II—HMS Vanguard. These vessels served primarily during World War II and shortly afterwards, taking part in many Royal Navy combat operations—including the Battle of the Atlantic, Operation "Pedestal," and various actions in the Mediterranean and Pacific theaters.

Master SM-350-013 barrels are made from precisely turned brass, ensuring not only the highest level of detail but also excellent durability compared to plastic components. This set is an upgrade intended for plastic ship models, allowing for advanced ship model conversions—for both enthusiasts and ambitious modelers.
