About product

Pitot Tube Mirage III 1:48 (Quickboost)

An exactly cast resin pitot tube (airspeed probe) for the French Dassault Mirage III fighter in 1:48 scale. It is an aftermarket detail part that will replace the coarser or easily damaged plastic tube from the base kit, not a standalone airplane model.

The real subject

The Dassault Mirage III is a French single-engine supersonic fighter with a characteristic delta wing. It was among the most successful jet fighters of the Cold War and stood out for its slender forward fuselage, at the tip of which a long pitot tube for measuring speed was mounted.

Tips for use and fitting

Resin parts call for more careful work than plastic: first wash them to remove mold release residue, separate them carefully from the casting block (the gate) and bond them with super glue (cyanoacrylate). Protect your airways while sanding and cutting small parts. Apply a primer before painting. The thin tube is fragile, so glue it on at the very end of the build, when handling can no longer break it off.

Who the part is for

  • Modelers building the Mirage III in 1:48 scale
  • Anyone after a more delicate and stronger pitot tube
  • Builders who want to refine the tip of the fuselage
  • Collectors of Cold War jets

The part is supplied as a resin accessory, unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and the base kit are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

No. It is a resin detail part, an aftermarket accessory. The base kit has to be bought separately.

The part is shaped for the French Dassault Mirage III supersonic fighter in 1:48 scale. We recommend checking the exact fit in a particular kit dry, because what the manufacturers offer differs.

Wash it to remove mold release, separate it from the casting block and bond it with super glue. Glue the tube on at the end of the build so that it does not break off.
