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 drilled cooling
jacket. 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.
This was a very popular gun on
German planes during WW2 and these werre also fitted to the early Ki-61s despite
the unreliable supply of electrically-fired ammunition for this weapon.
These guns would be a very fine item to fit to your next model if it used the MG 151 (20mm)
machine gun.
