Master 1/72 Pitot Tube for MiG-21SM/M/MF Fishbed J
A precisely crafted, metal Pitot tube from Master in 1/72 scale. This product is dedicated for MiG-21SM, MiG-21M, and MiG-21MF Fishbed J aircraft models. This advanced detail serves to replace standard, often simplified, plastic parts from model kits, significantly enhancing the historical accuracy and realism of your miniature.
Key Features:
Scale: 1/72 – perfectly matched for most popular MiG-21 model kits in this scale.
Material: High-quality turned metal (most often brass), which provides unparalleled detail sharpness, exceptional durability, and resistance to mechanical damage compared to plastic parts.
Accurate Representation: Designed for a faithful reproduction of the actual Pitot tube, characteristic of the MiG-21SM/M/MF variants, which is crucial for advanced modeling projects.
Enhanced Realism: Applying this Pitot tube immediately improves the look and precision of the detail on the model's front fuselage, crucial for an accurate aircraft depiction.
Application and Compatibility:
The Pitot tube is a critical aerodynamic element responsible for measuring airspeed, and its accurate replication is essential for achieving a realistic aircraft model. The Master 1/72 product is compatible with most plastic model kits of the MiG-21SM, MiG-21M, and MiG-21MF available on the market, regardless of the base kit manufacturer (e.g., Eduard, Zvezda, Revell, Hasegawa). Installation typically requires removing the original plastic tube and preparing a small hole in the model's nose for the metal replacement. The use of cyanoacrylate glues or resin adhesives is recommended for permanent bonding. After installation, the part can remain in its natural metal color or be painted to match the chosen aircraft model's paint scheme to blend seamlessly with its appearance.
