MSRP: $17.95 Website: www.master-model.pl Tamiya's 32nd scale Spitfire Mk. IX has to be one of the best models ever kitted. However, with that said, there is still room for improvement here and there. One of the most prominent pieces of the model is the 20mm cannons. Master provides you with two 20mm cannons complete with exquisite detail and two conical covers. First off, the parts show all the complex curves, as well as the appropriate spanner nut detail. This detail would be easily lost as you sand the gun parts. If you are like me, I have a problem with sanding flat spots on round surfaces. It is quite frustrating. Well you don't have to worry about that now. These one piece guns are perfect, so no sanding. You also are treated to the two perfect conical caps. Construction is simple; you don't have to do anything to them other than add them to the kit. The Master parts are direct replacements for the kit parts. What more could you ask for? Highly recommended. Thanks to Master for the review copy. You can obtain your copy by contacting them directly on their website or at a variety of hobby shops.
