The Oerlikon MG FF cannon was developed in the 1930s and served as the primary armament for many German fighters, bombers, and reconnaissance aircraft during World War II, such as the Messerschmitt Bf 109, Bf 110, and Junkers Ju 88. Widely used on the fronts of Europe and Africa, it was considered effective weaponry thanks to its high rate of fire and substantial firepower.

Aber metal barrels are characterized by remarkable attention to detail – faithfully reproducing the perforations, muzzle, and proportions of the original. The included photo-etched sights allow even the smallest details to be rendered, which cannot be achieved in plastic parts. Assembly is not very complicated – precision and basic knowledge of working with metal are recommended, so we rate the product at difficulty level 2/5. The set is perfectly suited for both intermediate and advanced modelers aiming for the highest standard of finish.

We recommend this product to those who wish to achieve the maximum level of realism in World War II period aircraft models and recreate the authenticity of German combat aircraft.
