Fine Molds AC47 IJN Pitot Tubes Set 1/48

The Fine Molds AC47 IJN Pitot Tubes Set 1/48 is a top-class modeling accessory designed for discerning enthusiasts of aircraft modeling. This set is dedicated to Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) aircraft models in the popular 1/48 scale. Pitot tubes, essential for real aircraft to measure airspeed, are carefully replicated here based on the original parts used in Japanese military planes from World War II.

This product was created in response to the needs of modelers striving for perfection and realism in their miniatures of machines such as the Mitsubishi A6M Zero, Nakajima B5N "Kate" or Aichi D3A "Val"—all of which served actively in the Japanese Navy during World War II, participating in key Pacific battles including the attack on Pearl Harbor and the Battle of Midway.

The accessory is made of precision-machined metal, ensuring exceptional detail, durability, and a level of scale realism unattainable with plastics. Each Pitot tube from the Fine Molds set guarantees an authentic appearance, emphasizing the unique character of the model and eliminating the issues of brittle or improperly proportioned parts typical of plastic-molded components.
