The quality of the machining has to be seen to be appreciated........these are amazingly detailed and of the highest quality.  This set includes 14 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 nose cannons on the P-38 had devastating effect of any enemy plane that got caught in their sights.  This set captures the look of these cannon barrels very well and the prominent location of these cannon barrels makes this set  a "must have" for your next P-38 model.
