1:16 Browning .50 caliber (12.7mm) - empty shells (25pcs)

Empty 12.7 mm cartridge cases, 1:16 scale

A set of 25 turned metal cartridge cases that represent fired, that is empty, cases of the heavy 12.7 mm Browning machine gun. The parts are made by machining from brass, so they have a regular shape, a clean mouth rim and the natural metallic sheen that a plastic molding cannot achieve. The manufacturer is the Polish brand MASTER, which specializes in turned accessories.

Use

• Filling the space under the ejection port and the collection bags of weapons in a large scale
• Cases scattered on the floor of the fighting compartment, on a deck or in the terrain of a diorama
• The contents of crates and boxes where only the top layer is visible
• A detail for figure scenes and display cases in 1:16 scale

Work tips

Degrease the metal parts with alcohol before painting. Brass looks best when you leave it in its original sheen and only tone it with a dark wash so that the hollows are drawn out; alternatively use metallic shades and weathering products. They are glued with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue) or a drop of epoxy, and for loose heaps it works well to flood them with thin PVA glue (white glue), which dries clear.

Who the set is for

For builders of large models and dioramas who want the detail to stand up close up and in a photograph. In a large scale, molded cartridge cases tend to be the weakest point of a scene, and turned metal parts solve that problem.

This is a set of small metal parts, not a kit. It contains small parts and is not intended for children under three years.
