The quality of the machining has to be seen to be appreciated........these are amazingly detailed and of the highest quality.  This set includes 6 turned brass barrels including 2 with water jackets. 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 detail on this 1/72 barrels is fantastic and a massive improvement over the crude plastic barrels.

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.
