The quality of the machining has to be seen to be appreciated........these are amazingly detailed and of the highest quality with hollow barrels.  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.

These barrels are beautifully made and hollow as well.  These are a vast improvement over the kit parts.

Other versions of Firefly's cannons You'll find in their sets:

  • AM-48-095 - Fairey Firefly - Hispano 20mm cannons with uncovered barrels

  • AM-48-096 - Fairey Firefly - Hispano 20mm cannons in long 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.
