Master SM-350-046 German 37mm/69 M42 barrels (20pcs) is a professional set of 20 precisely crafted metal barrels, dedicated to German ship models from World War II in 1:350 scale. These barrels faithfully reproduce the German 37 mm/69 FLAK M42 anti-aircraft gun, one of the core anti-aircraft armament components of the Kriegsmarine in the final years of World War II, especially after 1944.

Historically, the 37mm/69 M42 gun was widely used on German battleships, cruisers, destroyers, and corvettes to increase the effectiveness of defense against Allied air attacks. It formed one of the pillars of the anti-aircraft armament for ships such as the Bismarck, Tirpitz, and Scharnhorst, as well as smaller escort units. These guns were renowned for their reliability and rate of fire, features that were particularly important during the dynamic sea battles from 1944 until the end of World War II.

The barrels are made from high-quality turned brass, which guarantees not only durability and ideal detailing, but also a realistic look once installed on the model. Professional turning technology ensures very thin walls and perfect proportions—in contrast to standard plastic alternatives, which are often too thick or become deformed during seam removal.

Installing the Master SM-350-046 barrels is exceptionally easy—simply cut off the original plastic barrel, drill a hole, and glue in the metal part using cyanoacrylate (CA) glue. This solution is perfect for enhancing the quality of nearly any German ship model from the late World War II period, significantly increasing the realism of your display. The set is recommended for both advanced modelers and intermediate hobbyists who wish to improve the level of detail in their builds. The assembly difficulty is rated 2/5—it only requires basic tools and some experience working with small metal parts.

If you care about an accurate reproduction of German naval armament and wish to make your model stand out from the rest, the Master SM-350-046 barrels set is an excellent choice!
