RB Model 48AB10 2 x 20mm Hispano Cannons 1/48 – Metal Barrels for Aircraft Model Kits

RB Model 48AB10 is a set of two precisely crafted metal barrels intended for replicating 20mm Hispano cannons on 1/48 scale aircraft models. The set also includes two detail parts—hole plugs—to be installed instead of two additional 0.5" machine guns, in line with the historical armament configuration used, among others, in Supermarine Spitfire aircraft with the so-called E & C wings.

The original Hispano Suiza HS.404 cannon formed the backbone of Allied armament during World War II. It was widely used not only in the Supermarine Spitfire from Mk.V onwards, but also in other aircraft: Hawker Hurricane, Typhoon, and Mosquito. The "E Wing" and "C Wing" configurations, in which some machine guns were replaced by the more powerful Hispano cannons, are particularly well-known and significantly increased the aircraft's firepower. This type of armament was used by the British RAF and the air forces of the British Commonwealth from the middle of World War II, roughly in the years 1941–1945.

• The set is intended for 1/48 scale models and serves as a high-quality replacement for factory plastic parts.
• Precision micro-lathe turning technology ensures the finest detail reproduction; the metal barrel surface guarantees durability, a striking appearance, and minimal preparation before assembly.
• Material: precisely turned brass, providing a highly realistic final result that faithfully reflects the original.
• Set includes: two Hispano barrels and two hole plugs—matching the configuration of some Spitfire versions.
• Category: metal aftermarket parts for 1/48 scale plastic models.

RB Model products have been appreciated for years for their excellent price-to-quality ratio and exceptional attention to detail. The metal barrels are especially recommended for intermediate and advanced modelers who wish to enhance the realism and visual quality of their World War II fighter aircraft models. Assembly difficulty is rated at 2/5—basic skills in working with metal and handling CA-type glues are required.

RB Model 48AB10 is the ideal choice for anyone building Allied fighter replicas—especially Spitfires—who want to ensure the highest quality and historically accurate details.
