Master AM-32-008 Japanese Type 97 7,7mm machine gun barrels (2pcs) 1/32

Master AM-32-008 Japanese Type 97 7,7mm machine gun barrels is a high-quality set of two precisely made barrels for the Japanese Type 97 machine gun, intended for aircraft model kits in 1:32 scale. This set is an excellent addition to replicas of aircraft machines used by the Imperial Japanese Air Force during World War II. The barrels are made of turned brass, making them stand out with extremely realistic detail reproduction – far surpassing standard plastic elements from model kits.

The Type 97 machine gun was used on various fighter and bomber aircraft, such as the Mitsubishi A6M Zero, Kawasaki Ki-61 Hien, or Mitsubishi Ki-21 Sally. This weapon was widely used in air operations over the Pacific between 1937–1945. Its presence in a model adds authenticity and allows you to recreate period aircraft with the utmost accuracy.

The set includes two precision barrels, which are easy to install – simply cut off the original plastic barrel, drill a hole, and glue in the brass part using cyanoacrylate adhesives. This method eliminates the risk of damage or deformation, common with small plastic parts, while ensuring full, permanent integration with the model.
