About product

Pitot tube and tie rods of the F1M2 Pete, 1:48 (Quickboost)

A resin detail set, not an airplane kit. This set of finely cast resin holds the pitot tube (the airspeed sensor) and the tie rods (the bracing rods) of the Japanese Mitsubishi F1M2 biplane observation floatplane, known to the Allies as Pete, in 1:48 scale. The parts sharpen up small but conspicuous items of the machine, which out of the box tend to be coarser. The set is meant for more advanced modelers with experience of resin.

What the set is for

The pitot tube and the tie rods are thin components, and with them resin has the advantage over thicker plastic thanks to its fine casting. A faithfully shaped pitot tube and delicate tie rods add to the conviction of a model and bring out the care taken over the build. Once painted and cleaned up they look entirely faithful.

Usage tips

  • Wash the parts in lukewarm soapy water to remove mold release residue
  • Cut off the casting blocks and sand the surfaces with respiratory protection
  • Glue with super glue (cyanoacrylate)
  • Seat the thin parts carefully and take care over the correct angle and the seating

Who the set is for

  • For builders of the F1M2 Pete floatplane in 1:48 scale
  • For more advanced modelers with experience of resin
  • For lovers of fine and faithful details

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

FAQ

No. This is a resin pitot tube and tie rods that will round out a kit you already own. The base model of the airplane has to be bought separately.

The pitot tube is the sensor of airspeed, and the tie rods are thin bracing rods. In resin they come out finer and more faithful than the coarser plastic parts out of the box.

It calls for a little experience. The thin parts are washed free of mold release residue, cut off the blocks and glued with super glue. Seat them carefully.
