About product

F6F-3 Hellcat machine gun barrels 1:48, late type (Aires Quickboost)

A resin detail part, not an aircraft kit. The set brings precisely cast wing machine gun barrels in the late form for the American carrier fighter Grumman F6F-3 Hellcat in 1:48 scale. It replaces the plastic barrels from the box with thin, straight resin castings. The part is meant for more advanced modelers with experience of resin.

What the part is for

The leading edges of the wings with the gun muzzles are obvious at first glance on the Hellcat, and plastic barrels tend to be thick, tapered or slightly bent. The resin castings are straight, with a fine muzzle and a faithful diameter, so the armament looks sharp and precise. The late form matches a different arrangement of the muzzles; choose it according to your subject.

Usage tips

  • Wash the parts in lukewarm soapy water to remove mold release residue
  • Cut off the casting blocks and sand the surfaces with respiratory protection
  • Bond with super glue (cyanoacrylate)
  • Paint the barrels in a metal shade and set them square into the leading edge

Who the part is for

  • For builders of the F6F-3 Hellcat in 1:48 scale
  • For more advanced modelers with resin experience
  • For lovers of sharp, faithful armament

This is a resin detail accessory, not a model. The base kit, paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

No. These are resin machine gun barrels that replace the plastic parts in your Hellcat kit. The base model has to be bought separately.

The forms differ in the arrangement and the shape of the muzzles in the leading edge of the wing. Choose the variant matching your particular subject.

It takes a little experience. Wash the parts to remove the mold release agent, cut them off the casting blocks and bond them with super glue. Sand with respiratory protection.
