1:48 IAI Kfir - Pitot Tube & Angle Of Attack probe

MASTER 1:48 IAI Kfir - Pitot Tube and Angle of Attack Probe

A set of accurately turned metal parts from the Polish manufacturer MASTER for a plastic model of the Israeli IAI Kfir fighter in 1:48 scale. According to the product name it contains a Pitot tube and an angle of attack probe. It is not a model or a kit but detail accessories that replace the matching plastic parts from the box.

The real subject

The Kfir was an Israeli supersonic fighter with a delta wing, derived from the design of the Mirage and fitted with an American engine. Its recognition features are the forward canards and the busy nose with its probes. Fine metal probes give a model an accuracy that plastic cannot manage.

Use

• Cut the plastic parts off and level the surfaces.
• Pre-drill the seating holes as needed.
• Glue the metal parts in with super glue (cyanoacrylate).
• The brass can be blackened or painted over to match the scheme.

Who it is for

• Modelers who want sharp, straight metal probes resistant to bending.
• A universal fit on the usual 1:48 Kfir kits.

This is an accessory for a model, not the model itself. The base kit, glue and paints are not included in the package.
