The Master 1:144 Pitot Tubes and Angle of Attack Probe for SAAB 35 Draken - Late Versions enhancement set features precision-crafted metal parts, specifically designed for SAAB 35 Draken fighter aircraft model kits in 1/144 scale. It is a crucial addition for modelers aiming to achieve maximum realism and detail in their miniature replicas.
Main Product Application
The primary purpose of this set is to enhance the level of detail on the aerodynamic features of SAAB 35 Draken model kits, especially its late versions. Pitot tubes and the Angle of Attack probe are components often simplified or insufficiently detailed in standard plastic model kits. Replacing them with metal counterparts significantly improves the accuracy and aesthetics of the forward fuselage, where these sensors are mounted.
Key Product Features
Precision Craftsmanship: The set's components are made from turned metal, ensuring exceptional shape precision and sharp details, which are impossible to achieve with plastic injection molding technology.
Material: The use of high-quality metal (typically brass) ensures durability and resistance to mechanical damage, unlike delicate plastic parts.
1/144 Scale: The set is precisely tailored to 1/144 scale standards, ensuring perfect proportions and fit for plastic model kits in the same scale.
Enhanced Realism: Replacing standard parts with these metal components significantly elevates the model's realism, giving it a professional and refined finish.
Ease of Assembly: Designed as direct replacements, Master parts are easy to install, requiring only minor modification (e.g., removal of original parts) to the base model kit.
Compatibility
The Master Pitot Tubes and Angle of Attack Probe set is dedicated for SAAB 35 Draken model kits in 1/144 scale, with particular emphasis on late versions of the aircraft. It is compatible with most commercially available plastic model kits of this aircraft from reputable manufacturers.
Assembly and Painting Tips
Before assembly, it is recommended to remove the original plastic Pitot tubes and Angle of Attack probe from the base model. The metal parts should be attached using cyanoacrylate adhesive. Once attached, the Pitot tubes and Angle of Attack probe should be painted according to the camouflage scheme of the chosen SAAB 35 Draken variant, typically in a color matching the surrounding fuselage or another specific shade for that component (e.g., metallic).
