HobbyDecal MT48011V1 F-2 Pitot tube set 1/48

The HobbyDecal MT48011V1 F-2 Pitot tube set 1/48 is a high-quality modelling accessory designed for plastic models of the Japanese Mitsubishi F-2 multirole fighter in the popular 1/48 scale. This precision set allows for a significant increase in the level of realism in aircraft models, especially where detailing is crucial to capturing the appearance of modern combat machines.

Replication of the actual F-2 equipment

The Mitsubishi F-2 is an advanced fighter aircraft jointly developed by Japan and the USA (based on the F-16 Fighting Falcon), used exclusively by the Japan Air Self-Defense Force. It entered service in 2000 and is still in use today as a modern fighter-bomber and interceptor. Its roles include air defense and support for strike missions, mainly over Japan’s islands and throughout the East Asian region.

Material and craftsmanship

The Pitot tubes included in the HobbyDecal MT48011V1 set are made from precisely machined metal (usually brass or stainless steel – see the manufacturer's specification for details). As a result, they are durable, resistant to mechanical damage, and reproduce proportions much more accurately than the plastic parts found in typical model sprues. The metal tips are highly precise, thin, and maintain the correct aerodynamic profile of the original.
