Upgrade Pack: Tamiya 1/350 Metal 46cm Barrels for Yamato

Model builders aiming for museum quality detail will appreciate the upgrade these metal barrels provide. Replacing the original plastic parts, the metal barrels deliver finer surface definition and a more authentic silhouette for the Yamato's turrets.

Authentic Construction and Look

Each barrel is manufactured with a hollow muzzle for realistic depth, and the included aluminium projectiles replicate the Type 91 rounds in scale form. The result is a truer representation of the battleship's primary armament when viewed up close.

Quick Fit Installation

The components are designed for a clean replacement of the stock barrels with minimal fuss. Using common modelling tools you can fit the metal parts and enjoy a more substantial, display-ready outcome that resists warping over time.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/350
  • Material: Metal (Barrels), Aluminum (Projectiles)
  • Components: 9 Metal Gun Barrels, 20 Aluminum Projectiles
  • Compatibility: Designed for Yamato Battleship Model Kit
The muzzles are already hollowed, so no additional drilling is typically needed unless you prefer a deeper bore for photographic or lighting effects.
Yes, aluminium accepts primers and paint well; use a suitable metal primer before applying scale-accurate finishes to avoid flaking.
They add some weight compared to plastic, but the design keeps balance stable. If needed, add discreet supports or glue to secure heavy turrets on older kits.
This set is supplied as a complete kit and individual spare barrels are not standard, so plan your installation with care or contact dealers for spare policies.
