Master SM-350-055 IJN Yahagi/Agano armament is an advanced modeling accessory set dedicated to 1:350 scale Hasegawa ship models, representing the Japanese light cruisers IJN Yahagi and IJN Agano from the World War II era. The set includes precisely made, turned brass gun barrels: six pieces of 15 cm and four pieces of 8 cm, which faithfully reproduce the details of the original armament of these historic vessels. IJN Yahagi was distinguished by her service during key battles, including the Battle of the Philippines and as an escort for the aircraft carrier Yamato during Operation Ten-Go in 1945. Her sister ship, IJN Agano, served as a flagship and participated in Pacific operations, serving as an example of the technological advancement of the Japanese navy at the time.

All the barrels in the set are made of high-quality turned brass. The use of metal barrels instead of the standard plastic parts from the base kit significantly increases the realism of the finished model: the perfectly reproduced length, caliber, and geometric details give the model a unique character. Assembly is simple – just cut off the plastic barrel, drill a hole at the mounting point, and glue in the metal barrel using cyanoacrylate glue.

• Material: turned brass
• Additions: the set does not include other components – only barrels
• Assembly difficulty level: 2/5 – recommended for both intermediate and advanced ship modelers
• For whom: ideal for modelers who care about realism and historical accuracy of armament

The Master SM-350-055 set is recommended for all naval enthusiasts, collectors of World War II ship models, and those who want to enhance the level of detail in their miniatures. It is a perfect choice for professional dioramas, modeling competitions, and any collection.
