1:144 turned metal barrels for aircraft models rescue the most delicate part of the whole miniature. At this size the styrene barrel is thinner than a pin and often bent on the sprue, while a machined part with a drilled muzzle reads correctly even under a loupe. Beside the barrels you will find pitot tubes and refuelling probes for jets destined for the display case.

Fit tiny metal parts after painting, because at 1:144 they vanish more easily than at any other scale: work over a pale surface and hold the part with a dab of masking putty. Kits in this scale live in 1:144 aircraft model kits, the full survey of weapons and probes in every size in turned metal barrels for aircraft, and the airframe's finer points come from 1:144 aircraft photo-etch.
