Master Model 1/350 Richelieu Armament Set


by Sean Hert

Master Models' 1/350 Richelieu Armament set for Trumpeter kit includes 3 different calibers of barrel. There are 8 of the 380 mm/45 (14.96") Model 1935 barrels, machined from aluminium. These barrels are full length, for mounting without a blast bag. (The Trumpeter kit includes both full length, and bagged, barrels. Next are 9 152 mm/55 (6") Model 1930 barrels for the 3 triple barrels secondary turrets. The 152mm were supposed to be a dual purpose mount, but failures in the hoists lead to additional 100mm twin mounts being added. Completing the set are the 12 100mm barrels for those twin AA mounts.
