The Master AM-72-161 set is an extremely precise accessory designed for A-4 Skyhawk aircraft models in 1/72 scale. The kit includes two metal 20 mm Colt Mk.12 gun barrels, which were the standard wing-mounted armament for most versions of the Skyhawk used from the late 1950s to the present day. This accessory is dedicated to modelers striving for maximum realism of their model and improved detail, which in this scale are particularly difficult to achieve using typical plastic parts.

Colt Mk.12 cannons were widely used on A-4 Skyhawk aircraft, which entered service in 1956 (during the Cold War era) and took part in many conflicts around the world. They gained the greatest fame during the Vietnam War (US Navy and USMC aviation), in the Israeli Air Force (Middle Eastern wars in the 1960s and 70s), and during the Falklands conflict (Argentine aviation). Skyhawks formed the backbone of carrier aviation on American aircraft carriers, fought over the jungles of Vietnam, the deserts of the Middle East, and the South Atlantic. Apart from the USAA, they were also used by the air forces of Brazil, Kuwait, Indonesia, and Malaysia.
