This latest release from Master features a pair of 1/24 German aircraft machine gun MG 131 barrels (2pcs) machined out of brass.  These were used on many German fighters and bombers (BBf 109, Me 410,Fw 190, Ju 88, Ju 388, He 177 and many more).

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.

If you're building one of the big 1/24 Luftwaffe aircraft, then these brass barrels are a must have...they are stunning. 

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.
