The offered barrels are a faithful replica of the IJN Type 10th Year 12cm/45 armament, which served as the standard gun on many Japanese cruisers and support ships from the interwar period through active service in World War II. In the early 1930s, this gun was gradually replaced by the more modern Type 89, yet the 12cm/45 remained widely used on aircraft carriers, escorts, smaller auxiliary vessels, and older cruisers. Example ships outfitted with this artillery include: Akagi, Taiyo, Unyo, Kako, Aoba, Myoko, Chokai, Maya, Yubari, and Ioshima-class ships.

The high-quality workmanship characteristic of Master products ensures that the barrels accurately reflect the original proportions, technical details, and specific tapers. The brass material guarantees durability, resistance to mechanical damage, and an excellent appearance – these components are a unique upgrade that far surpasses standard plastic barrels found in basic kits.

Product category: Metal model accessories – barrels for warship models.
