This latest release from Master features a pair of 1/32 Japanese Ho-103 12,7mm machine gun barrels (2pcs) machined out of brass.  The accuracy of the cooling jackets is amazing and there is also tiny photo etch braces made out of brass.

Simply cut off the original plastic barrel and drill a hole in the remaining plastic parts and insert the metal barrel using Cyanoacrylate adhesives.

Yet another beautifully machined product and perfect if you are building a Japanese aircraft with the Japanese Ho-103 12,7mm machine gun.
