This latest release from Master features a pair of 1/32 Japanese Type 97 7,7mm machine gun barrels (2pcs) machined out of brass.

These were the standard Japanese aircraft machinegun during World War II

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

Used in many fighters and bombers The 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.   

Wow.....just looking at the dilled out cooling jackets on these gun barrels leaves me speechless.  These have a level of detail that will really stand out on your next 1/32 Japanese aircraft model.
