The British 14 inch (356 mm) Mark VII naval gun was the main armament of the King George V class battleships – the key European Royal Navy vessels during World War II. These units played a crucial role in many military actions, including the famous battle with the German battleship Bismarck in 1941, where HMS Prince of Wales together with HMS Hood fought in one of the most renowned naval engagements of the conflict. With these modeling details, you have the opportunity to faithfully recreate the historic silhouettes of British capital ships.

Installing the metal barrels is very simple: just cut off the plastic barrels from the model, drill a hole, and glue in the new barrels using cyanoacrylate adhesive. The precision provided by Master means that this product is recommended both for advanced modelers and ambitious hobbyists who want to increase the realism of their battleship models.

This set is especially recommended for modelers building replicas of British World War II battleships. Master components guarantee the highest quality and historical accuracy. The assembly difficulty is rated at 2/5 – basic modeling tools and skills are required.
