About product

A pitot tube for the BAC/EE Canberra in 1:72 scale (MASTER)

A turned metal detail part from the Polish brand MASTER, intended to replace the pitot tube on a plastic kit of the British English Electric Canberra jet bomber in 1:72 scale. The accessory is not a model but a single precisely machined part. The difference from a plastic molding is apparent at once: metal holds a slender diameter along its whole length, the tip is cleanly shaped and the part neither bends nor breaks, which with so small an element in a small scale is the main benefit.

The real subject

The Canberra was a British twin-engine jet bomber that first flew at the turn of the 1940s and 1950s and became one of the longest-used aircraft of its category. Besides the bombing role it made its name above all in reconnaissance versions, where a high ceiling and long range secured it a long career with a range of air forces. It was also built under license and in many variants, which differed in the nose, the armament and the equipment.

Usage tips

Cut the plastic part off and level the surface, then drill a hole matching the diameter of the pin with a micro drill. Dry-fit the part and check the angle against the drawing in the building instructions. Glue with super glue in small doses; any excess leaves a white film on metal. Before painting, degrease the metal and go over it with primer, and fit the tube as the last step of the build.

Who the part is for

  • Builders of Canberra models in 1:72 scale
  • Modelers bothered by a thick and crooked probe in plastic
  • Anyone interested in British jet aircraft of the 1950s
  • Builders who finish a model with metal accessories

The accessory is supplied unpainted and without a kit. Glue, paints and the base model are not included in the package.

FAQ

It is not. It is one detail part that replaces the plastic pitot tube on a kit in 1:72 scale bought separately.

The attachment differs slightly between kits. It is always advisable to dry-fit the part and drill the hole to the actual diameter of the pin.

Degrease the surface with alcohol and apply primer, and only then the paint. Without primer the paint cracks and flakes off smooth metal.

Best at the very end of the build, after the finish and the decals. Until then the model is easier to hold and you do not put the part at risk.
