A set of turned metal barrels in 1:700 from the firm Flyhawk. It is not a model: it is a replacement part that swaps the plastic barrels of the main artillery on a model of a German battleship for accurately machined metal ones. The difference is apparent at once: metal holds a perfectly circular section, the muzzle is really drilled out and the barrel is straight, whereas injected plastic at this scale tends to be slightly oval, with a trace of the mold parting line and with a bend. The designation short type refers to the later version with shorter blast bags at the root of the barrels.
The 38 cm SK C/34 naval gun was the main armament of the German battleships of the Bismarck class. They carried eight of these barrels in four twin turrets, two forward and two aft. The weapon was marked by a high muzzle velocity and a flat trajectory, which gave it good accuracy at long range. The same type of gun also appeared in a coastal version on several fortress batteries.
Cut the plastic barrels off as close to the turret as possible and clean the hole out carefully with a drill bit to the right diameter; keep trying it dry until the metal barrel seats without force. Degrease the metal with alcohol before gluing and glue with super glue applied a drop at a time. Painting is done over a primer for metal, otherwise the paint will not hold on the smooth surface and will rub off during handling. Fit the barrels only once the turrets are painted, ideally at the very end of the build.
This is an accessory, not a standalone model. The base kit, glue and paints are not included in the package.
