This brass, resin and photo etch release from Master includes turned brass tail antenna, barrel, Pitot Tubes, resin muzzle break and PE parts in 1/48 scale.

You will be required to fold the photoetch in this set, but if you have one of the Hold & Fold photo etch benders from The Small Shop, then this will be an easy process.  They have a variety of benders for sharp corners as well as rounded corners and in many different sizes.

The quality of the machining has to be seen to be appreciated........these are amazingly detailed and of the highest quality.  Once the various pieces are assembled, then you have a very accurate looking barrel for the chain gun on your AH-64 Apache.

The chain gun is a focal point of the AH-64 and this set provides you will a beautifully detailed gun barrel for this amazing gun.  The addition of the antenna and pitot tubes will give your model a very delicate level of detail. 

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 product sample.  Visit their website for more finely crafted detail items in a variety of scales.
