1:48 Northrop T-38 Talon / F-5B / RF-5A, E, S - Pitot Tube and 20mm gun barrels

Pitot tube and 20 mm barrels for the T-38 Talon and F-5 (1:48)

A precisely turned metal accessory from the Polish brand MASTER. It is not a model but a set of replacement parts that swaps the plastic pitot tube and cannon barrels on Northrop family miniatures for fine brass ones.

What the set contains and what it is for

The package holds a turned pitot tube and two 20 mm cannon barrels with drilled muzzles. The T-38 Talon trainer uses only the pitot tube, while the combat F-5 versions also use the cannon barrels. The accessory is intended for the plastic T-38 Talon, F-5B and the reconnaissance RF-5A, F-5E and F-5S models in 1:48 scale.

Fitting and tips

• Cut away the original plastic parts and pre-drill a hole of matching diameter at the seating point.
• Glue the brass parts with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue).
• Set the barrels parallel to the axis of the fuselage.

Who it is for

• Modelers who want an accurate nose and armament without coarse plastic parts.
• Builders used to working with small metal parts.

The accessory contains metal parts only. The model itself, glue and paints are not included in the package.
