Thanks to Piotr at Master models for providing these incredible items to improve our models, and thanks to IPMS Reviewer Corps leaders for sending it to me…

What is in the packet: a detailed instruction sheet, four .303 Machine gun barrels and cooling jackets/spring mounts, with flash hiders, four 20MM cannon barrels, and one turned metal pitot tube.

These are simple replacement items for the kit barrels; they provide a better appearance than the kit items, and are well worth investing in for installation

Replacing the kit .303 gun barrels is easy; carefully cut off the kit barrels, drill holes for the metal barrels, install the spring assemblies then the metal barrels, then slide the cooling jackets over the barrels. The flash suppressors then are cemented on the tip of the barrel. Paint and install in the model to finish.

The cannon barrels just require you to remove the kit items, drill a hole to mount, and replace. Easy! Paint before installation. The nice details here include the flats around the tip as used on the real item, whereby the muzzles are screwed into place on the gun frame using a specialized wrench.

The pitot tube just replaces the kit item; superglue or epoxy per your preferred medium.

Full marks once again to Master Model for an excellent product; thanks again for providing this item to IPMS USA!
