1:72 Boulton Paul Defiant - pitot tube and Browning .303 machine gun barrels is a set of turned metal parts with which you replace the corresponding plastic parts of a model of the British fighter in 1:72 scale.
Responsibility details are not available.
This is not an aircraft kit but a small set of metal accessories by the Polish manufacturer MASTER. It contains a turned pitot tube and the barrels of the Browning .303 inch aircraft machine guns for a model of the Boulton Paul Defiant in 1:72 scale. The base plastic kit has to be obtained separately.
Injection-molded plastic handles these parts with a compromise. The gun muzzles are blind and would have to be drilled out by hand, the pitot tube tends to be thicker than the scale calls for, and it breaks off easily while a finished model is handled. A turned brass part has its bore from the factory, is straight and true along its whole length, and the toughness of the metal stands up even to a careless placing of the model in a display case.
Cut the plastic part off as close to the surface as possible, level the area and drill the hole with a micro drill of the diameter of the pin on the metal part. Set the metal in with super glue, or with a slower-setting epoxy that gives time to align it. Degrease the parts with alcohol before painting, because grease from your fingers is the main reason paint holds poorly on brass. A thin coat of primer intended for metal works best. Instead of painting, the gun muzzles can simply be polished and darkened with a bluing solution, which makes the metal sheen look more faithful. Glue the pitot tube on at the very end of the build.
The set is an accessory for a plastic kit, not a standalone model. The kit, glue and paints are not included in the package.
