HobbyDecal MT48008V1 RAF/RN Pitot tube Long 1/48 – precise Pitot tube for British aircraft scale models

The HobbyDecal MT48008V1 RAF/RN Pitot tube Long in 1/48 scale is a high-quality accessory designed for aircraft models used by the Royal Air Force and Royal Navy. This part has been reproduced with extraordinary attention to detail and perfectly reflects the original used on many British aircraft from the World War II era and the post-war years. Most characteristic for aircraft such as the Supermarine Spitfire, Hawker Tempest, De Havilland Mosquito, or Fairey Firefly, this type of Pitot tube was mainly used from the 1940s until aviation transitioned to modern technologies in the Cold War period.

The tube is made from precisely machined metal, which guarantees exceptional durability as well as resistance to mechanical damage during assembly and handling of the finished model. Its metal construction also allows for a very faithful recreation of the details characteristic of original, aviation Pitot tubes. It is an accessory that perfectly complements aircraft models requiring a high level of detail fidelity.
