Turned metal barrels – a quick upgrade for your model

Replacing plastic barrels with turned metal parts is one of the easiest ways to raise the realism of a model. The barrels have even, thin walls and correctly reproduced muzzles, which is hard to achieve with plastic parts.

Cyanoacrylate glue works best for assembly, bonding metal to plastic securely.
