MASTER 1:350 SMS Seydlitz — turned barrels with resin mounts replaces the plastic artillery armament of a model of the German battlecruiser with precise metal barrels. It is an accessory for a ship model, not a standalone kit.
Responsibility details are not available.
This set from the Polish brand MASTER replaces the complete gun armament of a model of the battlecruiser SMS Seydlitz in 1:350 scale. It contains ten barrels of 280 mm caliber, twelve barrels of 150 mm caliber and eight barrels of 88 mm caliber, together with resin mounts for seating them precisely in the turrets and casemate openings. This is not a model of the ship, but an upgrade accessory for a plastic kit.
SMS Seydlitz was a battlecruiser of the Imperial German Navy (Kaiserliche Marine) completed in 1913. It combined heavy armor with high speed and was deployed in operations in the North Sea, including the Battle of Jutland, the largest naval battle of the First World War. The main armament consisted of 280 mm guns in twin turrets, the secondary battery of 150 mm guns and the light armament of 88 mm guns. The numbers of barrels in the set match the composition of the armament of the real subject.
Cut the plastic barrels off as close to the turret as possible, sand the remainder flat and carefully widen the hole for the pin of the metal barrel with a micro drill bit in a pin vise. Metal is glued with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue) or epoxy, not with cement for polystyrene. Before the glue sets, line all the barrels up to the same elevation: barrels turned inconsistently are visible on a finished model at first glance. Wash the mold release agent off the resin mounts and try them dry before gluing. Paint the metal parts only after applying a metal primer, or leave them in their natural shade and just seal them with a matte clear coat.
This is an accessory for a plastic kit, not a standalone model. The kit, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
