REVIEWER: Scott Van Aken
NOTES: Brass cannon

Here is something that is pretty neat and something that I think many will find quite useful. This is an aircraft mounted Type 99 20mm cannon with a drum feed. This brass gun has a small etched fret for exterior drum detail and the sight. It comes with instructions on how to roll the brass part for the drum. This cannon was used on a lot of Japanese aircraft including the later Betty, Francis, Nell, Emily, Mavis and other bomber type aircraft that could handle the heavy fire-power of this gun.
