About product

Aero L-39 Albatros pitot tubes 1:48, MASTER

This is not an aircraft kit but an accessory to one. The set holds turned metal pitot tubes for a model of the Czechoslovak Aero L-39 Albatros trainer in 1:48 scale. The name is in the plural, so the set covers more than one sensor.

The real subject and the part

The L-39 Albatros is a jet trainer of Czechoslovak design that was used for basic and advanced training and still serves in many countries today. The pressure sensors on it are among the prominent details of the forward fuselage, and they are exactly the most vulnerable parts on a model. Turned metal keeps the section and the length exactly to the drawing and, unlike plastic, does not warp.

Fitting and painting tips

First compare the position of the metal part with the plastic original and only then cut the plastic off. Drill the hole with a hand drill rather than a powered one, so that the thin wall of the fuselage is not torn through. Glue the metal part in with super glue; with a larger gap epoxy is safer, as it can still be aligned before it sets. Degrease the metal before painting and spray it with a metal primer. Fit the tubes as the last step of the build, after varnishing and decals, so that they do not get in the way during masking.

Who the accessory is for

  • Modelers building the L-39 Albatros in 1:48 scale
  • Those who want to replace a warped or broken plastic sensor
  • Builders aiming at a display case finish with sharp details
  • Anyone interested in aircraft of Czechoslovak design

The accessory is supplied unpainted. The base kit, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

No. These are only metal pitot tubes that replace the plastic parts on an L-39 model in 1:48 scale. The kit itself has to be bought separately.

The name gives the tubes in the plural and the set is intended for one model. The exact number of pieces is stated on the packaging of the set.

Yes, but the surface first has to be degreased and sprayed with a metal primer. Without a primer the paint will not hold on polished metal and will rub off during handling.

Only after varnishing and applying the decals. During masking and sanding the thin parts would get in the way and risk being bent.
