Description
Aber - 1/48 Set of 2 barrels for German 7,92 mm MG.17 aircraft machine guns. The Mg 17 was installed in the Messerschmitt Bf-109, Messerschmitt Bf-110, Focke-Wulf Fw-190, Junkers Ju-87 'Stuka', Junkers Ju-88C Nightfighter, Heinkel He-111, Dornier Do-17/Do-215 Nightfighter, Focke-Wulf Fw-189 and many other aircraft. Many Mg 17s were later modified for infantry use, as the Luftwaffe replaced them with the heavier-calibre Mg 131, which replaced both the Mg 15 in bomber defense applications and the Mg 17 as the standard fighter's forward-firing offensive armament unless the machine guns were replaced by autocannons, such as the Mg 151/20, altogether. Official numbers of conversions was about 24,271 by January 1, 1944, although additional conversions may have been done as well thanks to Wikipediafor Great Wall Hobby, Hasegawa and Icm
