Responsibility details are not available.
This is a set of turned metal barrels in 1:700 scale from the Polish maker Aber. It is not a kit of a ship but a detail accessory: the turned barrels replace the plastic parts and bring a perfectly circular cross section, the right slenderness and a drilled muzzle, none of which injection-molded plastic reaches in this scale. The package holds five barrels of 150 mm caliber, eight barrels of 37 mm caliber and ten barrels of 37 mm caliber of the later M42 pattern.
The German destroyers of type 1936A became known under the nickname Narvik. They were large destroyers of the Second World War which were the first in the Kriegsmarine to carry a main gun armament of 150 mm caliber instead of the usual 127 mm. They were backed by light anti-aircraft armament of 37 mm caliber, whose older semi-automatic pieces were replaced during the war by the automatic M42 pattern. It is precisely this combination of calibers that makes the fine barrels the most noticeable detail of the whole model.
Cut the plastic barrel off as close to the mounting as possible with a sharp scalpel and level the surface with a file. Drill the hole for the pin of the metal barrel with a micro drill gradually, in small steps, so that the thin plastic does not tear. Glue with cyanoacrylate glue in a really small amount, as any excess shows at once in this scale. Degrease the metal before painting and lay down a base coat intended for metals, otherwise neither acrylic nor enamel will hold. Fit the barrels only once the superstructures have been painted, so that they do not get bent while the model is handled.
This is a detail accessory, not a complete kit of a ship. Glue, paints and the base model are not included in the package.
