About product

P-38F and P-38G Lightning - gun barrels, variant B, 1:32, Quickboost

Replacement barrels in resin for models of the Lightning in 1:32 scale. The product is an accessory for a model under construction, not a standalone kit. The manufacturer keeps two executions, A and B, under the same subject. If you are building a particular machine, compare the shape of the barrels with your own references.

What the accessory is for

The armament of the Lightning was concentrated in the nose of the central nacelle, so the barrels are the first thing a look at the model from the front catches. With parts from injected plastic the problem is twofold: a mold seam along the whole length, and the fact that a thin and long part fills the mold less well, so it tends to be slightly wavy. A resin casting gives straight geometry and a smooth cylindrical surface. The number of pieces and the rest of the contents of the package are stated on the box.

Usage and painting tips

Washing in lukewarm soapy water removes the remains of the mold release agent and the paint then holds. Separate the parts with a saw with fine teeth and work over a light-colored tray, as a small casting is easily lost. Level the end of the barrel at a right angle to the axis, otherwise a visible tilt will result. Apply super glue in the smallest possible amount with a toothpick, because cyanoacrylate leaves a matte mark on the surrounding clear coat. In color dark steel works, supplemented with a fine sheen on the muzzle. Leave the fitting to the end of the build and handle the finished model by the fuselage, not by the nose.

Who the set is for

  • Modelers building the early versions of the Lightning in 1:32 scale.
  • Those who want barrels without a seam and without the risk of thinning them by sanding.
  • Builders who are finishing a model to exhibition standard.
  • Anyone interested in a quick improvement of detail without modifying the structure.

The accessory is supplied unassembled and unpainted. The base kit, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

Decide according to the references for the particular machine you are building.

It is not. These are purely replacement resin barrels. The base kit has to be obtained separately.

They tend to have a mold seam along their whole length that cannot be cleaned up without thinning the part, and they tend to be slightly wavy. A resin casting is straight and without a seam.

Fit the barrels as the last step and handle the finished model by the fuselage, not by the nose.
