This latest release from Master features a BAC Lightning - Pitot Tube machined out of metal.  These were the standard Japanese aircraft autocannon during World War II. Used in many fighters and bombers.  These barrels can be used in all model kits in 1:48 scale.

The quality of the machining has to be seen to be appreciated........this is amazingly detailed and of the highest quality.  This set includes 1 turned metal pitot tube. It is very simple to use on your model, and makes it extremely realistic. Simply cut off the original plastic barrel and drill a hole in the remaining parts and insert the metal barrel using Cyanoacrylate adhesives.

This pitot tube is very fine and a vast improvement over the plastic part. 

You can purchase these and other fine detail items directly from the Master website. 

I would like to thank Master for providing me with this product sample.  Visit their website for more finely crafted detail items in a variety of scales.
