This latest release from Master features a pair of 1/32 German aircraft machine gun MG 151 (20mm) barrels (2pcs) machined out of brass.  Used in many German fighters and bombers.

Eight hundred were exported to Japan and were used to equip 388 Japanese Ki-6 Hien

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

Set includes two turned brass barrels with drilled cooling jacket. 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.

These barrels are very precise and are a big improvement over the kit barrels.  And of course these would be suitable for your Luftwaffe aircraft that used these as well as your 1/32 Ki-61. 

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

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