A set of twelve turned metal barrels of 152 mm caliber in 1:700 scale from Aber replaces the plastic barrels of the secondary battery of the British battleships Nelson and Rodney.
Responsibility details are not available.
Twelve turned metal barrels of 152 mm caliber in 1:700 scale, intended to be exchanged for the plastic parts of the secondary battery. It is a detail accessory for builders of ship models, not a kit. The manufacturer is the Polish brand Aber, whose turned barrels are a standard in the small ship scales.
Besides their nine 406 mm guns, the battleships Nelson and Rodney also carried a 152 mm secondary battery mounted in twin turrets in the after part of the ship. These guns were to fire on lighter surface targets, destroyers above all. In 1:700 scale plastic barrels of this caliber come out very slender, bend easily and their muzzles stay blind, so a metal replacement solves several problems at once.
Work one turret at a time. Cut off the plastic barrel, level the face of the turret with a file and drill a hole for the pin. Because there are twelve of them, it pays to make a simple jig so that all the barrels point in the same direction and have the same elevation. Glue the metal parts with a minimum amount of super glue. Degrease the brass before painting and go over it with a metal primer; only then apply the shade of the hull and superstructures. At the end a gentle emphasis of the muzzles with a dark shade helps.
This is an accessory set for a model, not a ship kit. Paints, glue and the base model are not included in the package.
