MSRP: $12.95 Website: www.master-model.pl The underwing gondolas of the Bf-109 are quite prominent on the aircraft, making the guns even more important. The Hasegawa MG-151 barrels are slightly out of round and still need to be drilled out at the end. If you are like me the ability to get the round cross section is daunting enough, but then there is centering the opening. Too much work for me and even if it wasn't I'm not sure I could do it. Master fixes all that for you. They provide you two MG-151s that are perfectly round and precisely centered barrels. Now don't think that the only aircraft to carry this weapon was the Bf-109, but it was also carried on many Luftwaffe aircraft, including bombers. Some Japanese aircraft such as the Tony also used this gun. Construction is simple. Cut off the plastic part and drill a hole for the metal barrel. Then just superglue it in place. A coat of primer and your preferred method of replicating metal paint and you're done. Highly recommended Thanks to Master for the review copy.
