Master Models is one of those companies who have stepped up to deliver what we really need; durable, accurate metal pitot tubes and probes for our fast-mover jets. THANK-YOU VERY MUCH for filling the void!

The only thing I will say is to be careful with them, as they can turn your house into a doctors’ office for injections in little time!

These 3 little (and I mean tiny, miniscule, actually “Scale”) bits are perfect to add to your model. First, they are made of brass, which makes them durable but not “unbendable” like stainless steel or actual needles; they have a bit of “give” when “tweeked”, but return to shape. That means you won’t have the same issues as resin pitot tubes where the cat breathes on the parts and they go flying off into the netherworld!

Second: Where else are you going to find such great metal machine work at a reasonable price? Only with Master Models!

When the Maestro/Eduard (or whoever is going to do it) SAAB J-37 Viggen kit is released, I’ll be ordering one, and these fine brass “finishing bits” will be used on them. I had at one time the old Airfix kit, and it was eventually sold; Try to find one now!

What I will say… These pitot tubes and Angle of Attack probes are extremely delicate and fine in finish; I actually lost the AOA probe on two separate occasions in the carpet monster, and was able to find them thankfully… All three parts had rolled off the photographic board I use, and it was only through dedication I was able to locate the AOA probes; the Pitot probes were pretty visible against the carpet.

A full 10 rating for these items; thanks To Master models for having the foresight to produce these gems, and to IPMS USA for passing them on to me for review!
