The quality of the machining has to be seen to be appreciated........these are amazingly detailed and of the highest quality.  This set includes 4 turned brass barrels, gun sight and pitot tube. 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 parts and insert the metal barrel using Cyanoacrylate adhesives.

This set is exceptionally well thought out and quite inclusive if you are building a US version of the P-40. 

Other MASTER sets for P-40 versions: AM-48-136 and AM-48-137

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.
