This latest release from Master features German aircraft machine gun MK 108 (30mm) barrels & blast tubes (4pcs) machined out of brass.  These were used in many German fighters and bombers (Bf 109, Fw 190, Me 163, Me 262, and many more).  Often used as a Schräge Musik in night fighters.  Set includes two turned brass barrels with blast tubes as option.

The quality of the machining has to be seen to be appreciated........these are amazingly detailed and of the highest quality.  This set includes 4 turned brass parts. It is very simple to use on your model, and makes it extremely realistic. Simply cut off the original plastic barrel and drill a hole in the remaining parts and insert the metal barrel using Cyanoacrylate adhesives.

The detailing on this gun barrels is a joy to see.  These will give you a much higher level of detail over the plastic kit parts. 

You can purchase these and other fine detail items directly from the Master website.   

I would like to thank Master for providing me with this product sample.  Visit their website for more finely crafted detail items in a variety of scales.
