The quality of the machining has to be seen to be appreciated........these are amazingly detailed and of the highest quality.  This set includes 4 turned brass barrels and 2 fairing parts. 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.

This set gives you vastly superior detail over the crude plastic parts.

Late version of Spitfire E wing You'll find in their set:

  • AM-72-118 - Spitfire Mk.IXe/XVIe late version (rounded 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.
