Master SM-350-040 R.N. Pola armament - 203mm (8pcs), 100mm (12pcs) barrels – set of metal barrels for 1/350 scale model

The Master SM-350-040 R.N. Pola armament - 203mm (8pcs), 100mm (12pcs) barrels set is an extremely detailed offering for modelers seeking to significantly enhance the realism of their ship models. This product was specifically designed for the R.N. Pola Italian heavy cruiser model in 1/350 scale by Hobby Boss. The set includes a complete selection of brass metal barrels: 8 pieces of 203 mm and 12 pieces of 100 mm, which perfectly replicate the ship’s original armament.

The cruiser R.N. Pola belonged to the Zara class, serving in the Regia Marina (Royal Italian Navy) during World War II. The ship's construction began in the mid-1930s, and it actively participated in Mediterranean operations, including the Battle of Cape Matapan in 1941. This conflict and era are key for modelers who value historical accuracy – the parts included in the Master SM-350-040 set ideally reflect the ship's original weaponry from that period.

• Set intended for 1/350 scale plastic models.
• The set includes 8 barrels of 203 mm and 12 barrels of 100 mm – all precisely turned from brass.
• The barrels are dedicated for the Hobby Boss model, but they can also be successfully used for other Italian cruisers of the Zara class.
