Turned metal barrels – a quick model upgrade

Turned metal barrels replace the plastic parts from the base kit and give sharper muzzle edges and correct proportions. It is worth considering them if you want a higher level of detail.

The parts are fixed with cyanoacrylate glue. Metal takes primer and paint well, so the barrels blend in with the rest of the model.
