It served with the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm from 1943 and participated in naval operations in the Far East as well as during the Korean conflict. The Firefly was armed with four 20mm Hispano cannons—these were essential during air combat as well as attacks on surface and ground targets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \n  \u003cp\u003eThe presented Master AM-48-097 set offers barrels with short fairings, which were typical for certain Firefly variants during World War II. Thanks to precise machining from turned brass, the final effect is incomparably more realistic than factory plastic barrels—shiny, proportional, and perfectly reproducing the details of the original.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \n  \u003cp\u003eAssembly of the set is exceptionally simple: just cut off the plastic barrels from the model and drill a suitable hole, then glue the metal barrel in place using cyanoacrylate glue. We recommend this product for both intermediate and advanced modelers—assembly difficulty: \u003cstrong\u003e2\/5\u003c\/strong\u003e.
