1/48 M2/AN Aircraft .50 cal Machine Gun Construction Set for Allied Bombers

Description

1/48 M2/AN Aircraft .50 Cal Machine Gun Construction Set – Allied Bombers
High-Precision 3D Printed Detail Set by Matters of Scale

Bring firepower fidelity to your next bomber build with this expertly engineered construction set, designed specifically to replicate the M2/AN aircraft variant of the .50 caliber Browning machine gun—the version optimized for air combat. Lighter than the ground-based M2 and fitted with aircraft-specific features like the E-11 and E-12 recoil adapters, this variant was the backbone of U.S. bomber defense in WWII and beyond.

This modular construction set allows modelers to build highly accurate guns with separately printed receivers, barrels, sights, and mounts, enabling dynamic poses, stowed configurations, and maintenance dioramas. Parts are designed with slide-fit compatibility for the Master Model brass barrel set (AM-48-138), making super-detailing seamless.

Set Contents:

• 4x E-12 recoil adapters (2 left, 2 right)
• 8x E-11 recoil adapters (4 left, 4 right)
• 10x Fixed receivers
• 12x Lightweight aircraft barrels
• 4x K5 ball-mount aircraft barrels
• 8x Aircraft barrels with stabilizer (flash suppressor)
• Multiple front and rear gunsights
• 4x Mounting brackets

Key Features:

• High-resolution 3D printed in ultra-fine resin
• Modular design with slide-fit connections for custom builds
• Designed specifically for .50 cal M2/AN aircraft weapons
• Ideal for B-17, B-24, B-25, and turret conversions
• Compatible with Master AM-48-138 brass barrels for added realism (not included, purchase separately)

Whether you're rearming a Fortress, detailing a Liberator, or scratch-building your own turret, this set gives you total control over how your guns are posed, presented, and perfected. No shortcuts—just museum-grade armament for modelers who demand more.
