Type 41 6-inch (152 mm) /40-caliber naval gun (14 pcs) Scale 1:700 Metallic Details MD70006

Metallic Details MD70006 is a small-scale weapons upgrade set for ship model builds in 1/700. The set includes 14 metal cannon barrels plus resin and photo-etched parts, intended to replace or refine kit gun barrels where straightness and consistent muzzle shape matter most.

The practical angle here is uniformity across multiple mounts: with 14 matching barrels, you can keep diameter and length consistent, which helps a ship’s silhouette look cleaner once turrets are aligned and painted (installation is kit-dependent).

This is a universal ship-model accessory for projects using Type 41 6-inch (152 mm) /40-caliber naval guns. Use your kit instructions and references to confirm which mounts on your build are appropriate for replacement.

For modelers: measure the kit trunnion/drill points before cutting anything—1/700 barrels often need a shallow pilot hole to keep alignment true. Use a simple jig (tape on a ruler or a scrap strip) to keep elevation and spacing consistent across turrets. Prime metal parts lightly before painting, and handle with tweezers to avoid bending or losing tiny PE pieces.

FAQ

Do I need to drill the turrets to install the barrels?

Often yes, depending on the kit. A shallow pilot hole helps keep the barrel centered and improves alignment in 1/700.

What glue works well for metal and resin parts at this scale?

Cyanoacrylate (CA) is commonly used for metal and resin. Apply in tiny amounts and test-fit first to avoid misalignment.

How do I keep multiple barrels aligned across turrets?

Use a simple jig to match elevation and spacing, and install one turret at a time. Dry-fit all barrels first before committing with adhesive.
