The Folland Gnat T.1 is a British light trainer aircraft renowned for its incredible maneuverability and effectiveness in its training role with the Royal Air Force (RAF). The Gnat T.1 was used extensively from the late 1950s to the mid-1970s, gaining particular fame as part of the Red Arrows – the famous British aerobatic team. The Gnat T.1 had a significant impact on the development of post-war trainer aviation.

The Master AM-72-083 metal Pitot tube is an invaluable enhancement for any Folland Gnat T.1 model. The element is manufactured by precision turning from rigid brass, ensuring not only perfect scale but also resistance to accidental damage during model construction or transport. The set includes the pitot tube only – its installation involves simply cutting off the original plastic part, drilling a hole, and gluing in the brass piece using CA-type adhesive.

The product is especially recommended for intermediate and advanced modelers who expect outstanding detail quality and durability of protruding elements in finished aircraft models. An upgrade of this class significantly enhances the realism of the replica, both on a diorama and during competition presentation.
