MK 108 30mm auto cannon question
Posted by dogzilla17 on Wednesday, February 21, 2024 1:20 PM

Finalizing the Eduard FW190 A8R2 -- the outboard MK108s from Master Model come with optional 'Blast Tubes' that I have not seen in any reference material - from some pictures they seem to be standard -- any further info is appreciated

Would you happen to have a photo of what you are referring to on your kit? That might be helpful for folks not familair with the Eduard kit, but who know the FW-190.

these MK 108 (30mm)  replaced the outboard MG151 20mm cannon -- photos seem to indicate the 'blast tube' was widely used -  just want to see if anyone has more info about them-

Thanks
