1:72 Curtiss P-40E - P-40N - details set - Browning .50 blast tubes, gunsight and Pitot Tube

MASTER detail set - Curtiss P-40E/P-40N 1:72

A metal detail set from MASTER for the Curtiss P-40E/P-40N Warhawk model in 1:72 scale. It is not an aircraft kit but a set of fine accessories that replace soft plastic moldings with accurate metal parts. The set holds turned barrels for the .50 caliber Browning machine guns (blast tubes), a gunsight and a pitot tube. The set usually comes with small resin or photo-etched elements as well.

Use

• Cut off the original plastic barrels and clean up the surfaces.
• Drill out the openings as needed and fit the turned metal parts.
• Fit the gunsight and the pitot tube in the right places according to the real aircraft.
• Attach the metal parts with super glue (cyanoacrylate); apply a primer before painting.

Who it is for

• Modelers building the P-40E or the P-40N in 1:72 scale.
• Builders who want crisp, faithful barrels and fine detail instead of plastic.
• More experienced modelers used to working with small metal parts.

The accessory is not a toy. Work carefully when cutting off the barrels and gluing with super glue, in a ventilated room and out of the reach of children.
