Master Models now provides coverage of the Airfix 1/48 Lightning kit with a perfectly formed replacement pitot tube. Master Models is well known for their superb turned brass parts and this set is another fine example. The set is one part of perfectly turned brass to replace the kits parts.

Here's a great picture of the pitot tube and how far it sticks out from underneath the front of the plane.

The instructions are great. In this case , the kit part is cut off of the support, a small hole drilled and the new part inserted. As you can see by the comparison pictures, the kit parts is straight, much thinner and too scale and also has the durability of brass. Another hit for Master Models.

Highly recommended for both accuracy and toughness. My thanks to Master-Models and IPMS/USa for the chance to review it.
