Master SM-350-086 Uzbrojenie rosyjskiego pancernika Tsesarevich (1904) – metal gun barrels for a 1/350 scale model

The Master SM-350-086 Uzbrojenie rosyjskiego pancernika Tsesarevich (1904) set is a precision kit of metal barrels dedicated to the Tsesarevich battleship model in 1/350 scale, designed as a perfect addition to the popular Trumpeter 05338 kit. This product was created for modelers who want to take their model to the highest level of realism and detail, faithfully replicating the armament of the historic Russian battleship from the early 20th century.

The Tsesarevich battleship was one of the most modern Russian warships at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. It served in the Imperial Russian Navy during the Russo-Japanese War (1904–1905), taking part in numerous battles, such as the famous battle of Port Arthur. The ship's armament included powerful guns: 305mm, 152mm, 75mm, 45mm, and 37mm, enabling effective combat both on the open sea and during port sieges.

We especially recommend this set to intermediate and advanced ship modelers who value faithfully reproducing historical details and increasing the realism of their miniature.

With these, your battleship model will look exceptionally authentic, whether in a display case or at a contest exhibit.

Assembly difficulty level: 3/5 – requires precision and care when trimming and gluing the metal barrels, but is achievable for most ship modeling enthusiasts.
