This particular set from Aires is a full gun bay for the Hasegawa P-47 Thunderbolt. It is quite a comprehensive set, as you can see. It offers both gun bays and access panels replace the areas on the kit that will have to be cut off. Only one shell tray and cover are provided and they are for the left side. You really don't have to include the tray if you don't wish. Both a full and empty trays are provided. Etched metal parts are provided for the upper gun and various braces. You can show the guns with the ammo feed covers either open or closed. The barrels are provided separately from the guns themselves and two spares are given. The ammo feed chutes are also provided as you can see on the upper right of the photo. A nice set that will enhance any P-47 diorama that you may wish to model.
