This latest release from Master features 1/48 German aircraft machine gun MG FF (20mm) barrels (2pcs) machined out of brass.

These were used on many German fighters and bombers (Bf 109, Bf 110, Fw 190, Do 217, He 111, 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 two 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.   

I love the delicate fluting that these gun barrels have.  If you are building a German aircraft that used the MG FF (20mm) machine guns, then you really should consider buying a set of these to use on your model.
