Review by Steve Bamford on July 22 2009

 

This latest release from Master features a pair of 1/32 German aircraft machine gun MG-17 barrels (2pcs) machined out of brass.

These were used on many German fighters and bombers (Bf 109, Bf 110, Fw 190, Ju 87, Ju 88, and many more).

The quality of the machining has to be seen to be appreciated........these are amazingly detailed and of the highest quality.  The set includes two turned brass barrels with drilled cooling jacket. 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.

You can purchase these and other fine detail items from the many retailers that carry their products.  A list of those retailers can be found on their website.   

If you're building a German aircraft then these are well worth considering.....the quality and detail has to be seen to be believed.
