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. 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.

The accuracy and detail on these parts is quite impressive in any scale, but in 1/72 the detailing is almost beyond belief.  If you are serious about upgrading the detail and accuracy on your 1/72 Spitfire Mk.IXe/XVIe, then this set is for you. 

Early version of Spitfire E wing You'll find in their set:

  • AM-72-117 - Spitfire Mk.IXe/XVIe early version (conical fairings).

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.
