The Hispano 20 mm cannons were widely used in RAF aircraft from later Spitfire versions, providing substantial firepower against both air and ground targets. The C-type “universal wing” enabled various armament configurations—most commonly 2 Hispano cannons and 4 Browning 7.7 mm machine guns—which significantly enhanced the aircraft’s effectiveness. The Spitfire Mk.IXc, equipped with these solutions, participated in bomber escort missions over Western Europe and in combat over France and Germany from 1942 to 1945.

The Master AM-32-017 set includes turned brass Hispano cannon barrels and corresponding fairings, which can be easily installed as a replacement for the plastic parts from the Pacific Coast Models kit. Thanks to the use of brass, the barrels are extremely detailed, resistant to damage, and faithfully replicate the original era pieces. The assembly uses cyanoacrylate glue, which greatly simplifies the modeling work.

Recommended for experienced modelers who wish to enhance the realism and level of detail of their World War II aircraft models. The assembly difficulty is rated 2/5 – it requires basic skills in working with metal parts but will not pose problems for those with modeling experience.

Summary: Master AM-32-017 is an excellent choice for anyone wishing to increase the historical accuracy of a 1:32 scale Spitfire model and achieve a highly realistic final effect. It will be appreciated by military aviation enthusiasts, collectors of World War II aircraft models, and ambitious hobbyists seeking high-quality accessories.
