Historical overview of the MK 108 cannon

The 30 mm MK 108 (Maschinenkanone 108) automatic aircraft cannon was developed in Germany in the middle of World War II by Rheinmetall-Borsig. Designed to combat heavily armored Allied bombers, it was characterized by a short barrel and very high firepower. It was introduced as armament for Luftwaffe fighters, proving exceptionally effective in combat, especially on the Western Front. Mounted in noses, wings, or underwing gondolas, they required robust barrel covers. Accurately reproduced barrels and blast tubes in the model effectively convey the authenticity and realism of the final miniature.
