Hello all. I'm after a bit of info on the rearming procedure of an e wing spitfire. I know the outer two Brownings on c wing were rearmed from below the wing but what about the e wing where the new 0.5 Brownings sat in the spare Hispano slot? Were they rearmed from above? Thanks in advance Craig

Replacement gun barrels 1:35 Master Since cornering the market in most of the other scales, Master Models have now started to build up their 1:35 range with the three new releases that arrived at BM Towers last week. As we have come to expect the workmanship is superb with some of the finest machining about. [35-0004] The first set is for the Browning 30cal machine gun M1919 as fitted with the early two piece muzzle. The drilled cooling jacket just slides over the barrel then, having removed the styrene barrel and drilled a hole 0.5mm in diameter just glue the new barrel into position. [35-005] As per the set above, this set is also for the 30cal machine gun M1919, but this time fitted with the later single piece muzzle. Assembly is exactly the same, just slip the cooling jacket over the barrel, cut off the styrene barrel, drill out 0.5mm hole and fit the new barrel. [35-006] Now this set is for the 20mm Flakvierling 38 so can be used on both the Trumpeter and Dragon kits. Assembly is simplicity itself, by just removing the styrene barrels, drill out a 1.0mm hole, fit the new barrel, then add the flash suppressor. Repeat three times and the finished model will look much more in scale with its four fine metal barrels. Conclusion Having reviewed a few sets of Master Models turned barrels their work still never ceases to amaze me with the finesse they can turn these parts out. The holes drilled in the 30 cal cooling jackets are sharp and clean as are the tiny holes in the Flak 43 flash suppressors. Amazing stuff, and a must for all AFV modellers. Very highly recommended.
