This latest release from Master features M61 A1 Vulcan - Six-barrelled rotary 20mm cannon - turned barrels with etched barrel clamps (20pcs) machined out of brass.  This cannon was used on most of the modern US aircraft:

The quality of the machining has to be seen to be appreciated........these are amazingly detailed and of the highest quality.  It is very simple to use on your model, and makes it extremely realistic. Simply cut off the original plastic barrel and replace with this metal barrel using Cyanoacrylate adhesives.

This cannon is a masterpiece of detailing and will be an excellent addition to your modern US jet. 

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

I would like to thank Master for providing me with this product sample.  Visit their website for more finely crafted detail items in a variety of scales.
