Modeling the Sherman Tank in 1/72nd Scale
 
Firefly 17pdr Gun Barrel Master Model
Kit #72-029

Another gorgeous piece from Master Model, this time the 17pdr for the Firefly. No specific kit is listed in the instructions, so this part can be a replacement for any Firefly kit on the market (I would say the ExtraTech and UM being the most in need of replacement, plus a couple of the resin conversion sets). The instructions also gives the diameter of the hole to be drilled in the kit parts to make the barrel fit. Note that the 3D-printed muzzle brake has some bolt detail molded onto it that other aftermarket 17pdrs do not have. I would suggest that this is the finest replacement barrel we have available to us for our Fireflies.
