Gun Aftermarket Upgrades for Aircraft and Helicopter Models

Guns and cannons are prominent visual features on many military aircraft and attack helicopters. Their barrel length, diameter, muzzle detail, and mounting position have a strong influence on the realism of a finished model. Aftermarket gun upgrades allow modelers to accurately represent these elements with scale-correct geometry.

This category includes aircraft cannons, machine guns, gun barrels, and gun pods used on fixed-wing aircraft and rotary-wing platforms. These upgrades are especially effective on close-view display models and competition-level builds.

Why Upgrade Guns

Improves barrel shape, length, and scale thickness
Adds realistic muzzle and cooling detail
Corrects oversized or soft kit gun parts
Enhances realism of aircraft armament

Aircraft and Helicopter Applications

Aftermarket guns in this section are intended for aircraft model kits and helicopter model kits. These upgrades are suitable for fighter aircraft, attack aircraft, and armed helicopters across different eras.

Related Armament and Exterior Categories

Gun upgrades are commonly combined with arms and weapons, pylons and bomb racks, and exterior details to create accurate and well-balanced aircraft configurations.

Scales, Materials, and Installation

Aftermarket guns are available in multiple scales and may be produced in metal, resin, or 3D-printed materials. Due to their small size and visibility, careful alignment and precise installation are recommended.
