1:48 Spitfire Mk.I early - Browning .303 with flash hider barrel tips and early gunsight for Eduard

Spitfire Mk.I early - Browning .303 barrels and early gunsight 1:48 (MASTER)

A precisely turned brass accessory from MASTER for the early version of the Supermarine Spitfire Mk.I fighter from the Eduard kit in 1:48 scale. The set replaces the plastic muzzles of the .303 Browning machine gun barrels with metal parts carrying the period flash hider and adds the early type of gunsight as well. The result is a markedly finer and more faithful rendering of the armament and the cockpit.

Use

• Cut off the plastic barrel muzzles and drill the holes in the wing leading edge
• Glue the metal barrels in with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue)
• Fit the gunsight into the cockpit according to the instructions
• Once painted, the parts blend into the model and raise its realism

The real subject

Early Spitfire Mk.I aircraft carried eight .303 Browning machine guns in the wings, and their muzzles with flash hiders were a conspicuous detail of the leading edge. The early type of gunsight completes the authentic cockpit equipment of the start of the Second World War.

Who the set is for

The accessory will appeal to modelers who want to lift the detail of the armament and cockpit of an early Spitfire above the level of the standard plastic parts.

The accessory is supplied unpainted. Paints, glue and the model are not included in the package.
