1:72 F-106 Delta Dart - Pitot Tube

MASTER 1:72 F-106 Delta Dart - a turned pitot tube

This is a precisely turned metal replacement part (a pitot tube) from the Polish maker MASTER, intended to improve a plastic model of the Convair F-106 Delta Dart supersonic interceptor in 1:72 scale. It is not a kit or a complete model but a single detail accessory that replaces the coarser plastic part from the box with a sharp metal part true to size.

The real subject

The F-106 Delta Dart was an American supersonic delta-winged interceptor and for many years the backbone of the air defense of the United States during the Cold War. The slender pitot tube on the nose is one of its typical recognition features and in metal it looks markedly more realistic than in plastic.

Use

• Cut off the original plastic part and clean up the surface.
• Pre-drill a hole in the nose if needed.
• Glue the metal part in with cyanoacrylate.
• The brass can be blackened before painting or left with a metallic shine.

Who it is for

• Modelers who want a realistic, straight point with no distortion.
• It fits the usual plastic F-106 kits in 1:72 scale.

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