Review Type:

First Look.

Advantages:

Exquisite scale finesse, superb quality, very good instructions.

Conclusions:

Well worth the purchase price in my opinion as they are far more to scale than what you find in the kit (have a look at the image of the F-8 pitot tube!) as well as being more robust and resistant to “accident” whilst handling your completed models – Highly recommended.

Master is a company based in Poland that produces first rate turned brass and aluminum aftermarket items for aircraft in 1/72, 1/48, 1/32 and 1/24 scale in their Air Master range and ship models in their Sea Master range to 1/200, 1/350, 1/400/1/700 scale.  There is also a few turned brass items to 1/35th scale too.

In the main, their products are gun barrels.  Some of these are two-part assemblies with separate barrels and cooling jackets.

Other items produced by Master are turned aluminum pitot tubes and WWII Luftwaffe radar antenna arrays, again, in 1/72, 1/48, 1/32 and 1/24 scale.

Recent additions to their pitot tube range include the following items:

  • AM-24-006 BAE Harrier GR.1/T.2/AVA-8A/AVA8C pitot tube and angle of attack probe in aluminum,
  • AM-24-007 BAE Harrier GR.3/T.4 pitot tube and angle of attack probe in aluminum
  • AM-24-008 BAE Harrier FRS.1/FRS.51 pitot tube and angle of attack probe in aluminum
  • AM-48-067 Chance Vought F-8E/F-8J Crusader pitot tube in brass.

These really are a joy to behold.  They are absolutely perfect and without blemish.  The 1/24th scale pitots even have a small “divots” in their ends to simulate their hollow tube.  The Harrier ones include the “flared” ends as well as a generous “spigot” which will allow you to fit them into a 1mm hole that you have to drill at the end of the nose on your kit whilst the 1/48 scale F-8 pitot has a scribed line around it to show you how far to insert it into your kit’s nose.

Each of their pitot tubes come backed in a plastic envelope which is packed in turn into a further plastic zip-loc bag along with a small instruction sheet that guides you in the placement of as well as to the colour of the pitot. A thick piece of cardboard that prevents the items being bent and a stapled header card round out the packaging. 

 

 

Conclusion

 

Well worth the purchase price in my opinion as they are far more to scale than what you find in the kit (have a look at the image of the F-8 pitot tube!) as well as being more robust and resistant to “accident” whilst handling your completed models – Highly recommended.

Thanks to Master for the review samples.
