This latest release from Master features 1/48 German aircraft machine gun MK 108 (30mm) barrels & blast tubes (2pcs) machined out of brass.

This type of gun was 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.

The quality of the machining has to be seen to be appreciated........these are amazingly detailed and of the highest quality.

This set includes two turned brass barrels with blast tubes as option. It is very simple to use in Your model, and makes it extremely realistic. Simply cut off the original plastic barrel and drill a hole in the remaining plastic parts and insert the metal barrel using Cyanoacrylate adhesives.

You can purchase these and other fine detail items from the many retailers that carry their products.  A list of those retailers can be found on their website.   

I'm certainly impressed with the high quality and fine detail of these brass 1/48 German aircraft machine gun MK 108 (30mm) and if you are building a model that used these guns then I strongly suggest you consider using these on your model.
