1:48 Heinkel He 111 gun barrels

Heinkel He 111 machine gun barrels 1:48 (Quickboost)

A resin detail part, not an airplane kit. This finely cast resin set from the Quickboost brand (Aires) brings the barrels of the defensive machine guns of the German twin-engine Heinkel He 111 bomber in 1:48 scale. It replaces the blunt plastic barrels with fine castings with the right shape and a slender profile, which give the defensive positions of the machine a convincing look.

What the set is for

Machine gun barrels are a small but conspicuous detail on a model; thin, straight castings look far more convincing than thicker plastic parts, which are also easily bent. Resin holds a crisp muzzle shape and a fine profile, so the defensive armament of the bomber looks faithful and delicate.

Usage tips

• Wash the parts free of mold release residue in lukewarm soapy water
• Cut the small casting blocks off carefully and sand the surfaces gently with respiratory protection
• Glue with cyanoacrylate glue
• Paint in metal shades and bring the muzzles out slightly with a darker tone

Who the set is for

• For builders of the He 111 bomber in 1:48 scale
• For more advanced modelers with experience of small resin parts
• For lovers of fine, faithful defensive 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.
