Master-Models has released another beautiful turned brass barrel set this time the MG131. Most of you will know this gun as the same one used on the upper cowling on the Bf-109G-5 and later.

[review image] In ways this set is even more intricate than some of the others. The cooling jacket holes are small and meticulously executed. They are simple to use. All you have to do is cut off the barrel of the kit part and then drill a pilot hole for the turned metal barrel. Simply press it into place and paint. Of course the end is drilled out and is suitably thin but because of the brass material it is very strong.

[review image] Check out their website at www.master-model.pl. Check out all the items that they have in a variety of scales. I know I will be using some of these little gems on my models in the future. Great stuff so much better than plastic or resin.

Highly Recommended
