Simply cut off the original plastic barrel and drill a hole in the remaining plastic parts, 0.5mm for the missile rail parts and 0.6mm for the pitot tube, and insert the metal barrel using Cyanoacrylate adhesives.
The detailing on these parts is very fine and it will definitely be a huge improvement to your kit.
Many thanks to Master Model for the review sample.
