Another in a long line of excellent turned metal (brass) items from Master Model. IPMS USA sincerely appreciates Master’s support of our reviewer corps!

Master provides two turned-metal air data pitot probes to replace the kit items. These are destined to satisfy our requirements for strength and accuracy.

This package contains two metal parts in a double-bag system. First, the outer protective card with details on the contents, then an internal “small” bag with the scale, strong pitot tubes.

Not much to say: Pull out the directions, carefully drill holes where required (in this case the existing air data (pitot) probe mounting fairings on the wings, and use superglue to install.

The usual admonition applies to not stick yourself anyplace sensitive with these. They are stronger than they look.

Thanks again to our friends at Master model for this set. A must-have for those of us who like sharp-nosed (or in this case, sharp winged) aircraft!
