A metal pitot tube and angle of attack probes for the Alpha Jet A in 1:72 scale are an accessory for a kit you have already bought, not a model. They replace the fragile plastic parts on the nose of the aircraft.
Responsibility details are not available.
A set of turned metal parts from the Polish manufacturer MASTER: the pitot tube and the angle of attack probes for a model of the Alpha Jet in the A version. In the small 1:72 scale these are the thinnest and most exposed parts of the whole model, which come out of the mold either too thick or break before the build is even finished. The metal replacement has the correct slim section and stands up to handling.
The Alpha Jet is a twin-engine subsonic aircraft from a Franco-German program, built in a trainer as well as a light attack form. The version designated A was delivered to the Luftwaffe and was used above all for attacks on ground targets and for training. It carries a pitot tube on the nose and angle of attack sensors on the sides of the forward fuselage, which are among the characteristic recognition features of the type.
The parts are small, so work over a light surface and use tweezers with fine tips. Cut the plastic stub off and drill a hole at the seating with a micro drill, starting with an undersize diameter and opening it up step by step. Set the metal part in dry, check the alignment from several angles and only then fix it with a drop of thin cyanoacrylate applied with a pin. Fit the probes as late as possible, ideally after painting and varnishing, otherwise they will be knocked at every further step. Degrease the metal and prime it before painting.
This is an accessory set for a model, not a kit. The model, glue and paints are not included in the package.
