Master SM-700-054 is a set of 14 precisely made 15cm/45 SK L/45 German gun barrels, designed for 1/700 scale models.

The casemate version barrels are made of high-quality turned brass, ensuring their durability, excellent detailing, and faithfully replicating the real shape and fine details.

The history of the 15cm/45 SK L/45 guns goes back to the late 19th century, when they started to be mounted on ships of the Kaiserliche Marine. They were the most commonly encountered medium-calibre guns used as secondary armament on German battleships of the Nassau, Kaiser, König classes, as well as light and heavy cruisers. These guns were mounted in casemates – special, armoured side compartments. The main combat usage of these guns took place during World War I, including the famous Battle of Jutland in 1916. They remained in service until the mid-1920s.
