This latest release from Master features a pair of 1/32 British Mk 2 Browning .303 caliber (7,7mm) with flash hider (2pcs).  British version of US Browning .30 chambered for the British .303 round, and was used as a basic fighter aircraft gun in fighters such as the Supermarine Spitfire until the widespread introduction of the larger caliber Hispano-Suiza HS.404 cannon, and Browning .50 caliber.  Used also in many British bombers throughout the war.

Version with flash suppressor used mostly as a defensive (flexible) weapon on bombers.

This set includes two turned brass barrels with slotted cooling jackets.  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 plastic parts and insert the metal barrel using Cyanoacrylate adhesives.

The quality of the machining has to be seen to be appreciated........these are amazingly detailed and of the highest quality.  These will be a stunning addition to your next model. 

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