This latest release from Master features 1/48Supermarine Spitfire Vb - Hispano 20mm cannons in fairings machined out of brass.

This type of gun was used in the Supermarine Spitfire with B wing.

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

The set includes turned brass barrels. It is very simple to use in 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.

You can purchase these and other fine detail items from the many retailers that carry their products.  A list of those retailers can be found on their website.   

The precision machining on these cannon barrels has to be seen to be appreciated.  These are the way to go if you are building a Spitfire MKV B Wing that used these Hispano 20mm cannon.
