The Hispano Suiza HS.404 cannons were widely used in Allied aviation during World War II. They were the standard armament of fighters such as the Supermarine Spitfire: from the Mk Vc variant up to the late-war Mk IX with the E-wing (so-called "E-wing"). This cannon was introduced into RAF service between 1941 and 1945 and repeatedly demonstrated its combat effectiveness, both in Western Europe and in the Far Eastern theaters. The 20mm Hispano cannons were valued for their high rate of fire and significant destructive power, which was essential for combating both enemy fighters and bombers.

The RB Model set is made from high-quality brass processed with precision CNC turning. Thanks to this, the modeler receives parts that are exceptionally detailed and durable, far surpassing ordinary plastic parts from basic kits. The choice of material also ensures a realistic appearance of the gun barrels after painting and light weathering. The metal barrels are easy to install and constitute an excellent upgrade for modelers who wish to enhance the authenticity of their Spitfire builds.

The product is especially recommended for intermediate and advanced model aircraft builders who want to improve the realism and detail of their WWII miniature models. Assembly is not very difficult, but we recommend basic knowledge of metalworking in modeling (difficulty level: 2/5).

By choosing the RB Model 1/48 4 x 20mm działka Hispano (48AB11) set, you will significantly improve the level of detail and authenticity of your model, making it closer to the original used by the Royal Air Force (RAF) during the most important aerial battles of WWII.
