The quality of the machining has to be seen to be appreciated........these are amazingly detailed with with beautifully machined barrels.  This set includes 6 turned brass barrels and gun sight and pitot tube. All 6 barrels are hollow on the end.  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 P-40 had a very prominent gun sight and this set captures that and the 6 wing guns very well.  This set will be just the ticket you need to dress up your next Curtiss P-40 E - N.  It is fantastic to see such a level of detail in 1/72.
