Master AM-48-095 Fairey Firefly - Hispano 20mm cannons with uncovered barrels (1/48)

The Master AM-48-095 Fairey Firefly - Hispano 20mm cannons with uncovered barrels (1/48) set consists of precisely made metal barrels, dedicated to the British carrier-based fighter model Fairey Firefly. This set was designed in the popular 1:48 scale and makes an excellent addition to plastic models, especially of this famous aircraft from World War II and the early Cold War period.

The Fairey Firefly was a British carrier-based fighter and reconnaissance aircraft, mainly operated by the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm (United Kingdom). This type served intensively from 1943 until the 1950s, taking an active part in operations in the Pacific at the end of World War II and during the Korean War. The armament with 20 mm Hispano cannons made the Firefly a formidable opponent for Japanese aircraft and ships.

The Master AM-48-095 set includes two precisely turned brass barrels, featuring uncovered barrels of the 20 mm Hispano cannons. Replacing the original plastic gun barrels with metal ones significantly enhances the visual qualities of the model—thin, perfectly shaped tips and characteristic details allow you to replicate the true appearance of aviation armament. The assembly process is simple: cut off the original plastic parts, drill a hole, and glue in the barrels using cyanoacrylate glue.
