This detail set from Master features a pair of 1/72 Browning M2 aircraft .50 caliber (12.7mm) barrels with drilled cooling jacket machined out of brass.  These were used in almost every US and other allied fighter and bomber.

The quality of the machining has to be seen to be appreciated........these are amazingly detailed and of the highest quality.  This set includes 2 turned brass barrels. It is very simple to use on your model, and makes it extremely realistic. Simply cut off the original plastic barrel and drill a hole in the remaining parts and insert the metal barrel using Cyanoacrylate adhesives.

The 50 cal machine gun was very common among the Allied forces and now you can add highly detailed 50 cal barrels to your next 1/72 model. 

You can purchase these and other fine detail items directly from the Master website.   

I would like to thank Master for providing me with this product sample.  Visit their website for more finely crafted detail items in a variety of scales.
