Master AM-72-078 Fairey Firefly – Hispano 20mm cannons in short fairings (1/72) is a high-quality accessory set dedicated to modelers seeking maximum realism in replicating World War II aircraft armament. Manufactured by Master, this product is made with utmost precision from brass, ensuring outstanding detail accuracy and durability compared to the standard plastic parts usually included in kits. The barrels are based on the armament of the British Fairey Firefly fighter-reconnaissance aircraft, which entered service in 1943 and was widely used by the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm during World War II. The aircraft participated in operations such as the Normandy landings and in Pacific missions against Japanese ships and installations.

The Master AM-72-078 set includes two Hispano 20 mm barrels in short fairings as fitted on the early production series of the Firefly. Replacing the standard plastic barrels with these precise metal replacements significantly increases the realism and appeal of the model, highlighting fine details such as barrel muzzles and fairing features. Assembly is very simple—just cut off the original plastic barrels, drill holes, and glue the metal parts in place using cyanoacrylate (CA) glue.

Product advantages:

• Exceptionally accurate reproduction based on period technical documentation.
• Fast and easy installation, even for less advanced modelers.
• Durability and resistance to mechanical damage thanks to brass construction.
• Fits most available Fairey Firefly kits in 1:72 scale.

Assembly difficulty level: 1/5 – very easy, recommended for both beginner and advanced modelers.

Recommendation: Highly recommended for any modeler wanting to give their Firefly an authentic historical appearance and improve the detail level of their replica. Ideal for both standalone models and historical dioramas.
