Some
of you may have not heard of the aftermarket company Fukuya. Fukuya is based in
Japan and produce some very high quality brass barrels for ships and aircraft
and Pilot tubes from turned brass.

One
of Fukuya latest releases is for the Tamiya’s outstanding new 1/32 release,
the Supermarine Spitfire Mk. IXc. These 1/32 Hispano-Suiza 20mm Brass turned
cannons have exceptional detailed, also included are two cannon caps. They will
surely be a nice addition to your Tamiya Spit. They are also designed to be a
drop in fit, but you may find that they require a small shim.
At
the time of writing, the price of the set is very reasonable for the quality
that you receive, only 2200 Yen (US$24) plus shipping from Hobby Link Japan
I
would recommend checking out the rest of the Fukuya range (http://www.hlj.com/company/FUK/)
at Hobby
Link Japan, they do
have some outstanding products. I would recommend their Pilot Tubes!
Thank
you to Hobby
Link Japan for the review sample that has been provided.Dave
