MASTER 1:72 British QF 6-pdr (57 mm) - the Mk.V L/50 version (long) and Besa machine gun tips is a metal set for British armor in 1:72 scale. It completes a plastic kit and does not make a model on its own.
Responsibility details are not available.
The package holds a turned metal barrel of the British 57 mm QF 6-pdr gun in the Mk.V version with a barrel length of L/50, that is in the longer form, and with it the tips of the Besa machine guns. The set is an accessory to a plastic model, not a kit. In 1:72 scale a longer barrel is especially prone to bending and to a visible mold seam; the turned metal part removes both and in addition has an open muzzle.
The version of the QF 6-pounder gun with a barrel 50 calibers long came about by lengthening the original shorter tank barrel and improved the ballistic performance of the weapon. It was used on British infantry and cruiser tanks in the later part of the Second World War. The coaxial Besa machine gun was derived from a Czechoslovak design built under license in Britain and on a model it shows mainly through its small muzzle beside the main weapon.
With a long barrel, make sure the pin seats all the way home, otherwise the barrel will look longer than it should. Drill the hole left by the plastic part on the same axis and preferably in two steps. Bond the metal with super glue and an accelerator, or with epoxy, which gives more time to line it up. When dusting a finished model, wipe it with a soft brush from the turret toward the muzzle and not against it; side pressure on a long barrel can loosen the joint. Degrease it before painting and use a primer for metal, and leave the muzzle darker and lightly polished.
This is an accessory for modelers, not a stand-alone kit. The basic model, the glue and the paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
