RB Model 700L22 Lufa All Japanese Heavy Cruisers, after 1932 1/700

RB Model 700L22 is a set of high-quality metal barrels, designed specifically for models of Japanese heavy cruisers used after 1932, made in the popular 1/700 scale. This product is mainly aimed at modelers building realistic replicas of World War II ships, for whom faithful reproduction of details—especially key artillery components—is essential.

The barrels have a caliber of 200 mm (8") L/50 and are typical for Japanese heavy cruisers such as the Myoko, Mogami, Takao, and Tone classes. These ships formed the backbone of the Japanese surface fleet in the 1930s and during World War II. They took part in many operations in the Pacific, including the battles of Guadalcanal and the Solomon Islands campaign. Their period of active service was mainly during World War II (1939-1945), although the first units were commissioned at the beginning of the 1930s, with refits and modernizations continuing throughout the decade.

The barrels are made of high-quality brass using precision turning methods, guaranteeing not only durability but also extremely precise and sharp detail—greatly surpassing the capabilities of plastic parts. The set contains as many as 10 barrels, allowing you to recreate the complete main armament of a heavy cruiser in your model.

This product belongs to the category of metal upgrade parts for ship model detailing. Mounting the metal barrels requires some experience and precision from the modeler; however, the visual effects are spectacular: metal reflects light in a natural way, and thanks to the slim muzzle and barrel bore, you achieve outstanding realism.
