This latest release from Master features a pair of 1/32 German aircraft machine gun MG-17 barrels (2pcs) machined out of brass.  These were the used in many German fighters and bombers (Bf 109, Bf 110, Fw 190, Ju 87, Ju 88, and many more).

The quality of the machining has to be seen to be appreciated........these are amazingly detailed and of the highest quality.  This set includes 2 turned brass barrels with drilled 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 parts and insert the metal barrel using Cyanoacrylate adhesives.

These machine gun barrels are beautifully detailed and will be a big improvement over the kit parts. 

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 product sample.  Visit their website for more finely crafted detail items in a variety of scales.
