A turned metal accessory for models of American aircraft of the Second World War in 1:32 scale, the pitot tube for measuring airspeed.
Responsibility details are not available.
A pitot tube is a thin probe projecting beyond the outline of the airframe into the airflow. It senses the pressure of the oncoming air and an instrument in the cockpit derives the airspeed from it. On American aircraft of the Second World War it was usually mounted on the wing or under it, and it is among the details everyone notices on a finished model, because it sticks out into space and both its thickness and its shape show clearly against the background.
A turned metal accessory for models of American aircraft of the Second World War in 1:32 scale. Machining from metal allows a thin wall and an accurate concentric shape that cannot be achieved on an injection-molded plastic part. Metal also stands up to handling during the build considerably better than a thin plastic probe, which is easily bent or broken off. The exact form and dimensions are given in the manufacturer's instructions.
Fit the part only at the end of the build, after painting and clear-coating, so that it does not get in the way and get bent during the rest of the work. Drill a hole in the plastic matching the diameter of the pin, degrease the surface and glue the joint with cyanoacrylate glue; cement for polystyrene does not hold on metal. Wash the metal surface before painting and cover it with a base coat, otherwise the top coat is easily rubbed off during handling.
The aircraft kit, paints and glue are not part of the delivery, unless stated otherwise.
