The Master AM-32-079 F6F-5 Hellcat - late armament (covered .50 cal Browning barrels) set is a high-quality modeling accessory dedicated to scale models of the Grumman F6F-5 Hellcat fighter aircraft in 1:32 scale. The set includes precisely turned .50 caliber Browning machine gun barrels and reproductions of the exhaust pipes, faithfully replicating the late-war armament variant of this legendary US Navy fighter.
