1:72 Supermarine Spitfire, late E wing, Hispano 20 mm and .50 caliber Browning is a set of turned metal barrels with two versions of the parts. It serves as an accessory for a finished kit, not as an aircraft model.
Responsibility details are not available.
This set by the Polish brand MASTER brings turned metal barrels for the late version of the E wing: Hispano 20 mm cannons and .50 caliber (12.7 mm) heavy Browning machine guns, both with fairings at the root. The package offers two versions of the parts, so during the build you pick the one that matches your model. It is a detail accessory, not an aircraft kit.
The E wing rearranged the armament of the Spitfire: the Hispano cannon moved to the outer position and a pair of light machine guns was replaced by a .50 caliber heavy Browning. The early and the late versions are told apart by the shape of the fairings at the root of the barrels: the early one had conical fairings, the late one rounded. Mixing the two versions up is a common mistake on Spitfires that any expert will notice on a finished model, so it is worth checking the shape of the fairing beforehand against a photograph of the particular machine.
Cut the plastic barrels off at the leading edge and redrill the holes to the diameter of the pins. Watch that the cannon and the machine gun have different diameters and lengths: the parts cannot be interchanged, but in a hurry it is easy to put one into the wrong hole. Glue with a tiny drop of cyanoacrylate and check the axis looking from the front, not from above. Degrease the metal before painting and use a primer for metal; spray the fairings in the color of the wing and leave the gun muzzles bare metal or weather them dark.
This is an accessory for a model, not a standalone kit. Glue, paints and the base model are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
