Master Model 1/32nd Scale M61 A1 Barrels

A fairly new player in the aftermarket field is Master Model from Poland.
Providing mainly gun barrels for ships and aircraft in a variety of scales, they also make pitot tubes and fuel probes. I'd like to review the new M61 A1 Vulcan 20mm cannon barrels.

This set of barrels is very well done in 1/32 scale and will liven up a number of aircraft including F-104, F-105, F-14, F-15, F-16, and the F-18. Compared to the real barrels which measure 59 inches (57 from where they meet the receiver) these barrels are spot on according to my ruler at 1.629 inches. They have all the details of the real barrels except for missing the rollers on the forward plates. These would be very difficult to see at this scale though.

Over all an excellent representation of the real barrels. I highly recommend them for your next project. So far I've used 5 different sets and am impressed with them all. My favourites would have to be the German WWI guns, but this Gatling is awesome too.
I got my barrels at Ultracast courtesy of my wallet.
