A set of eight turned metal barrels of the British quick-firing gun of 102 mm caliber, that is 4 inches, in the Mk XVI version. The product belongs among turned barrels and accessories for ship models in 1:350, so it is an accessory for a plastic kit rather than a ship model. The metal barrels replace the plastic parts from the mold and remove their two usual weaknesses, that is the lengthwise trace of the parting line and the blind end of the muzzle. Eight pieces in the set are enough for four twin mountings.
The quick-firing gun of 4 inch caliber in the Mk XVI version was a widespread anti-aircraft weapon of the Royal Navy in the Second World War. It was used on a broad spectrum of vessels from escorts through cruisers to large units, and it was usually carried in twin mountings distributed along the sides of the superstructures. Because there tended to be several of them on deck, what shows on a model above all is a uniform look to the barrels.
Cut the plastic barrels off at the mounting mask, sand the areas and open the holes out with a micro drill to the diameter of the pin. With smaller calibers work up from a thinner drill, as the thin plastic wall otherwise cracks. Glue the metal parts in with gel cyanoacrylate glue, which does not run into the surroundings. On twin mountings level both barrels to the same elevation and watch that they are parallel. Degrease the parts before painting and apply a primer for metal, otherwise the paint rubs off during ordinary handling of the model.
The set is an accessory for a model, not a kit in its own right. The model, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
