About product

MASTER 1:48: pitot tube for the B-58 Hustler

This is a turned metal detail set, not an aircraft model. The turned brass pitot (pressure) tube replaces the inaccurate and vulnerable plastic part from a B-58 Hustler kit in 1:48 scale. The metal version has more faithful geometry, a sharper tip and survives handling far better than a long thin plastic part, which bends or breaks off easily.

The real subject

The Convair B-58 Hustler was an American strategic bomber and one of the first aircraft capable of twice the speed of sound. It had a prominent delta wing, a slender fuselage and a long pitot tube on the tip of the nose, which the set reproduces faithfully.

Fitting tips

Cut off the plastic tube, drill a hole of the correct diameter and glue the metal part in with super glue (cyanoacrylate). Degrease the brass before painting and coat it with a primer. Fit the longer part rather at the end of the build, so that it is not damaged during handling.

Who the set is for

  • Builders of the B-58 Hustler in 1:48 scale
  • Modelers who prefer durable metal to a long fragile plastic part
  • Experienced modelers and handier beginners used to metal accessories
  • Collectors of American Cold War aircraft

An accessory for a plastic kit. The model itself, glue and paints are not included in the package.

FAQ

No. It is a turned metal accessory, a pitot tube with which you replace the plastic part on a B-58 model. The kit itself has to be bought separately.

The long pitot tube of the B-58 is very prone to bending and breaking in plastic. The brass version has a more precise shape and is markedly more durable.

You cut off the plastic tube, drill a hole and glue the metal part in with super glue. Degrease the brass before painting and coat it with a primer.
