Precision Metal 46cm Barrels by Tamiya for Yamato 1/350

For hobbyists who value scale accuracy, these Tamiya metal barrels replace the kit plastic with precision machined parts that improve the visual impact of the Yamato's main guns. The metal finish gives a convincing focal point for any naval model setup.

Scale Faithful Details

The barrels are cast with hollow ends to simulate real gun muzzles, and the set includes aluminium projectiles modelled after Type 91 shells. These parts add a layer of period correct detail that stands out under close inspection.

Straightforward Installation and Strength

Designed for ease of fitting, the metal barrels integrate into the original turret assemblies with common modelling techniques. The metal components lend additional strength so your model remains stable during handling and display.
