BMK Modelmarine.de Shop has released a needed upgrade for your Trumpeter USS San Francisco and Minneapolis kits; brass barrels for the main guns. This set of 9 machined brass barrels have few if any machining marks. As is the BMK practice, the barrels have been drilled out and have a small pin left to aid mounting to the plastic blast bags; I had to trim the "pin" short to fit inside the blast bags. The BMK barrels have a shorter recoil sleeve which appears more prototypically correct than the plastic barrels included in the Trumpeter kit. |
