This latest release from Master features 4 of 1/24 British Mk 2 Browning .303 caliber (7,7mm) barrels (4pcs) machined out of brass with photo etch.  These fit the Mosquito from AIRFIX perfectly and other models in 1:24 scale.

Version with flash suppressors used mostly as a defensive (flexible) weapon on bombers, except for the Mosquito, where four Brownings with flash suppressors were fixed

Set includes 4 turned brass barrels with slotted cooling jackets. Flash suppressors are separate elements, so you can assembly barrels without them. Version without flash suppressors used mostly as a offensive (fixed) weapon on fighters (Spitfire, Hurricane).

The quality of the machining has to be seen to be appreciated........these are amazingly detailed and of the highest quality.  This set includes 4 turned brass barrels. 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 are amazing gun barrels and would be an excellent addition to any 1/24 aircraft that used the Brownings. 

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.
