• Product Name: Master SM-700-013 British 15in/42 (38.1cm) Mark I - without blastbags (8 pcs) - Queen Elizabeth, Revenge, Repulse, Hood, Vanguard classes

The Master SM-700-013 set is a high-quality collection of replacement gun barrels for models of British capital ships from the First and Second World Wars. This product was designed for modelers building ships in the highly popular 1:700 scale. It is intended to replicate 15 inch/42 Mark I guns without blastbags, which were widely used on British ships of the Queen Elizabeth, Revenge, Repulse, Hood, and Vanguard classes, as well as some monitors such as Marshal Soult, Erebus, and Roberts.

The British 15in/42 Mark I guns were among the most recognizable weapons of the Royal Navy in the 20th century. They entered service before World War I and remained in use until the end of World War II, taking part in numerous key naval engagements, including the Battle of Jutland and operations in the Mediterranean Sea. They stood out for their accuracy, firepower, and robust British engineering. They were mainly used on battleships and battlecruisers, serving as the backbone of British naval power for decades.

The barrels are made from precisely turned brass, ensuring exceptional durability, perfect detailing, and a realistic appearance in your model. The metal barrels (8 pieces in the set) are an excellent replacement for the original plastic parts – they guarantee sharp edges, resistance to damage, and a natural visual effect. Assembly consists of cutting off the original plastic barrel, drilling a hole, and gluing in the new component with cyanoacrylate glue.
