The Master SM-350-116 set is dedicated to the SMS Viribus Unitis ship model in 1/350 scale, produced by Trumpeter. It allows for significant enhancement of this famous Austro-Hungarian dreadnought replica by replacing the standard factory parts with highly detailed artillery barrels made by the renowned Polish manufacturer Master.

The set includes a complete set of main and secondary armament used on the SMS Viribus Unitis: 12 barrels of 305 mm, 12 barrels of 150 mm, and 18 barrels of 70 mm. These elements are made from high-quality metal, ensuring not only exceptional durability but also very precise representation of details such as muzzle openings and parting lines. Additionally, the manufacturer includes resin mounting elements to facilitate correct installation of the barrels on the model.

SMS Viribus Unitis was the pride of the Austro-Hungarian Navy, commissioned in the early 20th century. The ship took part in World War I, serving as a key component of the fleet in the Adriatic Sea from 1912 to 1918. Its armament played a significant role in maintaining the balance of naval power in the region. Ultimately, the ship was sunk in the port of Pula in 1918.

The Master SM-350-116 set belongs to the category of modeling accessories—dedicated upgrades for plastic ship models. The metal barrels ensure unparalleled realism and much greater durability compared to plastic parts, giving a premium effect appreciated even by the most demanding modelers.

We recommend this product both to advanced modelers seeking perfect details and to those looking to enhance the quality of their dioramas and collector displays. Installing the barrels requires moderate modeling skills—we assess the difficulty as 3 out of 5, due to the precision required when working with metal details and resin. It is an excellent choice for every naval and historical modeling enthusiast.
