USS New York BB-34 is an American New York-class battleship which served in the United States Navy from World War I, through the interwar period, up to World War II and the famous campaigns in the Pacific and Atlantic. After its 1942 reconstruction, the ship received upgraded armament, including powerful main 14in/45 (14-inch/45 caliber) guns, dual-purpose 5in/51 (5-inch/51 caliber) guns, and rapid-firing 3in/50 (3-inch/50 caliber) anti-aircraft guns.

• 10 precisely turned aluminium barrels 14in/45 (356mm)
• 6 brass barrels 5in/51 (127mm)

Each barrel is an elegantly finished component, guaranteeing the highest level of detail and accurate reproduction in 1:350 scale. These barrels are made from aluminium and brass, which provides a very realistic look and durability for your model.

The set not only improves the aesthetics of the model, but also enables precise replication of the USS New York BB-34's profile after 1942, making it a unique item in your collection.
