About product

Sea Vixen FAW.2 pitot tube (1:48, Aires/Quickboost)

The set brings a resin pitot tube for the Sea Vixen FAW.2 fighter kit in 1:48 scale. The thin, precisely cast part replaces the soft or coarse plastic sensor and raises the fidelity of the forward part of the machine. This is not an airplane model but a small detail accessory.

The real subject

The de Havilland Sea Vixen FAW.2 was a British twin-engine carrier-based fighter with a characteristic twin-boom tail. The pitot tube serves to measure the airspeed and is a slender yet prominent feature on the real aircraft.

Building and painting tips

Carefully separate the part from the casting block and clean it up; small resin parts are brittle, so protect your airways when sanding. Glue with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue). The tube usually only needs painting in metallic and flat shades to match the real aircraft.

Who the set is for

  • Builders of the Sea Vixen FAW.2 fighter in 1:48 scale
  • Modelers who want a finer and more accurate pitot tube
  • More experienced modelers used to small resin parts

The set is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and the base kit are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

On the real aircraft it measures the airspeed; on the model it is a slender sensor on the forward part of the machine that the set refines.

No, this is a small resin detail accessory for a Sea Vixen FAW.2 kit in 1:48 scale.

It is thin and fragile; separate it carefully from the casting block and bond it with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue).
