Turned barrel tips for the 7.7 mm machine guns and a bead sight mount for the Hawker Hurricane Mk.IIb in 1:72 scale by MASTER. An add-on accessory for a plastic model.
Responsibility details are not available.
A small set of turned metal parts for a model of the British Hurricane fighter in the Mk.IIb version in 1:72 scale. It contains the barrel tips of the 7.7 mm Browning machine guns, that is the sections that protrude from the leading edge of the wing, and a bead sight mount. It is not a kit but an add-on accessory.
The Hurricane Mk.IIb carried an armament of 7.7 mm machine guns in the wings, of which only short sections of barrel protrude from the leading edge. In kits these sections are either molded as part of the wing or supplied as solid plastic pins, in both cases without a bore and usually of unequal length. The metal tips have a real opening at the muzzle and the same diameter, and once glued into drilled holes they keep a regular spacing, which is the most noticeable thing about a row of barrels side by side. The bead sight mount in front of the cockpit is in turn a typical thin part that always comes out oversized in injection-molded plastic.
Cut the plastic barrels off carefully and level the leading edge. Drill the holes in one line and to the same depth; marking the positions with a needle beforehand helps. Start from a smaller drill so that it does not wander. Glue the parts in with cyanoacrylate glue applied with the tip of a toothpick and check straight away that they all protrude equally. Degrease the metal with alcohol, use a metal primer and leave the muzzles in a dark metallic shade, or use burnishing, which holds better than a thin coat of paint. Fit the bead sight mount only after the fuselage has been painted, otherwise it gets in the way when masking the cockpit.
The set is an accessory for a plastic model. The model, paints and glue are not included in the package.
