The Master SM-400-002 British 4in/45 (10.2 cm) QF HA Marks XVI barrels set is a high-quality kit consisting of 14 gun barrels in 1:400 scale. These are precisely reproduced, turned barrels designed for scale models of warships from the World War II era. This solution is intended for demanding modelers who expect the highest precision and authenticity of details in their miniatures.

The featured 4in/45 QF HA Marks XVI barrels represent the main anti-aircraft gun variant installed on nearly all British warships of the period. They were commonly used on battleships such as the HMS Hood, HMS Rodney, HMS Warspite, as well as County-class cruisers and numerous destroyers, including the famous Polish ship ORP Błyskawica. This gun variant was employed by both the Royal Navy and allied units during the most crucial naval operations of World War II.

The barrels are made of high-grade turned brass, which ensures durability, excellent detail, and accurate geometry even in the smallest elements. Thanks to this technology, you achieve almost photographic precision, impossible to obtain with plastic equivalents.
