About product

F-14 Tomcat pitot tube 1:48 (Quickboost)

A resin detail part, not an airplane kit. This finely cast resin set replaces the pitot tube of the American Grumman F-14 Tomcat carrier fighter with its variable-geometry wing in 1:48 scale. The thin, accurately shaped part looks far more faithful than the thicker plastic part from the box, which also breaks off easily. The part is intended for modelers who want to bring the front of the aircraft to perfection.

What the part is for

The pitot tube is one of those small things that catch the eye at once on a finished model. A fine resin casting captures the right profile and proportions, and fitted on the nose it gives the machine a delicacy that is hard to achieve with coarser plastic. Thanks to the crisply cast tip it looks faithful even from close up.

Usage tips

  • Wash the parts free of mold release residue in lukewarm soapy water
  • Cut off the casting block and sand the surface with respiratory protection
  • Glue with cyanoacrylate glue
  • Handle the thin part with care, as it bends or breaks easily

Who the part is for

  • For builders of the F-14 Tomcat fighter in 1:48 scale
  • For modelers who want a faithful, delicate nose area
  • For lovers of small but prominent details

This is a resin detail accessory, not a model. The base kit, paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

No. It is a resin pitot tube that completes a kit you already own. The base airplane model has to be bought separately.

The resin part is finer and more faithful, with the right profile and a crisp tip. The part from the box tends to be thicker and breaks off easily.

With such a small part, basic care is enough. Wash it free of mold release agent, cut off the casting block and glue it with cyanoacrylate glue. Sand with respiratory protection.
