MASTER Model from Poland has released a range of gun barrels for model aircraft in a variety of scales.

Today we are examining two of these. Both are made up of beautifully presented solid turned brass parts.

AM-48-004 - Spitfire C Wing Hispano 20mm Armament

This set contains the parts required to fit out any Spitfire C wing (Mk.V, VII, VIII or IX) with either the common single 20mm Hispano barrel plus capped fairing, or the full fitout of two 20mm Hispanos each side.

The ends of all the cannon barrels are hollow.

AM-32-005 Messerschmitt Bf 109 E-3 - E-9, T MG 17, MG FF Armament

Designed for the Eduard 1/32 scale family, this set provides two 20mm MG FF cannon barrels plus two staggered MG 17 barrel ends, all gorgeously rendered with the appropriate steps and flares.

The MG 17 barrels have been turned with a locating pin at the back. This means that the plastic parts can be simply cut off the kit mount, which can then be drilled to receive the brass parts.

Both MASTER Model sets will represent a luxurious finishing touch for your 1/48 scale Spitfire C wing or Bf 109 E cannon-equipped project.

Thanks to Lucky Model for the sample.
