1:48 Harrier FRS.1 / FRS.51 - Pitot Tube & Angle Of Attack probe

Harrier FRS.1 / FRS.51 - pitot tube and angle of attack probe 1:48 (MASTER)

A precisely turned brass accessory from the Polish maker MASTER that replaces the fragile plastic parts on the nose of a model of the British vertical takeoff Harrier in the FRS.1 and FRS.51 versions in 1:48 scale. The set contains a pitot tube and an angle of attack probe made of metal, which are stronger and finer than the standard plastic parts.

Use

• Cut off the original plastic part and drill a hole at that spot
• Glue the metal part in with cyanoacrylate
• Brass holds its shape and takes handling better than thin plastic
• Once painted, the part blends into the model and raises its realism

The real subject

The Sea Harrier FRS.1 was a British carrier-borne fighter and reconnaissance aircraft with vertical takeoff, made famous above all during the Falklands War. The FRS.51 version served with the Indian Navy. The accurate pitot tube on the nose is a conspicuous detail of the aircraft's silhouette.

Who the set is for

The accessory will be appreciated by modelers who want to replace the vulnerable plastic probes with a tough and fine metal version.

The accessory is supplied unpainted. Paints, glue and the model are not included in the package.
