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 with drilled and slotted flash hiders.

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.

Without a doubt, if you are building the Ju-87 with the big 37mm under wing guns, then these cannon barrels are a must have.  These are beautifully done and complete marvel to see in person.  The quality is extremely high.

You can purchase these and other fine detail items directly from the Master website.
