The quality of the machining has to be seen to be appreciated........these are amazingly detailed and of the highest quality.  These were used on the  Supermarine Spitfire with late E wing or in Spitfires with revised wing (e.g. Mk 21, Mk 22).


The set includes 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 plastic parts and insert the metal barrel using Cyanoacrylate adhesives.

As you can see in the above photo, these are rich in detail and will be a big improvement over the kit parts and the perfect addition if you're building a Supermarine Spitfire with an late E wing or in Spitfires with revised wing (e.g. Mk 21, Mk 22). 

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.
