Enhance your 1/48 scale aircraft models with precision-turned metal detail parts from Master Model, the industry leader in ultra-fine brass and metal aftermarket accessories. This collection features meticulously crafted pitot tubes, angle of attack probes, gun barrels, antennas, and specialized detail sets that transform standard kits into museum-quality masterpieces. Each Master Model part delivers exceptional accuracy with precision-turned brass construction, authentic dimensions, and realistic detail that far surpasses plastic kit parts for professional-quality aircraft modeling at 1/48 scale.
Master Model has established itself as the premier manufacturer of precision-turned metal detail parts for scale aircraft modeling, offering modelers an extensive range of brass and metal accessories that elevate standard kits to professional display standards. This 1/48 scale collection encompasses pitot tubes, angle of attack probes, gun barrels, antennas, and specialized detail sets that address the most common areas where plastic kit parts lack accuracy or realism. Each Master Model part demonstrates exceptional manufacturing precision, featuring accurate dimensions, proper scale fidelity, and authentic details that satisfy even the most demanding aircraft modelers and competition builders.
The Dassault Super Mystere B2 pitot tubes and angle of attack probes exemplify Master Model's commitment to accuracy and detail. These precision-turned brass parts include both the pitot tube with resin mounting base and angle of attack probes, providing complete replacement for the simplified plastic kit parts. The metal construction allows for ultra-fine detail that cannot be achieved in injection-molded plastic, including proper tube diameters, accurate probe shapes, and realistic mounting configurations. The included resin mounts ensure proper positioning and secure attachment to the aircraft model. These detail sets transform the nose area of aircraft models from simplified representations into convincing scale replicas with authentic instrumentation.
Master Model employs advanced precision-turning technology to manufacture parts with exceptional accuracy and consistency. The brass material provides superior strength compared to plastic, allowing parts to be produced at correct scale thickness without fragility concerns. This enables Master Model to create pitot tubes, gun barrels, and antennas with authentic hollow bores, proper wall thickness, and accurate external details that would be impossible to mold in plastic at 1/48 scale. The brass accepts paint, weathering, and metal finishes beautifully, allowing modelers to achieve realistic appearances ranging from polished metal to weathered operational equipment.
Master Model parts are designed for straightforward installation, typically requiring only basic modeling tools and cyanoacrylate adhesive. The precision manufacturing ensures parts fit accurately into kit-provided mounting locations or can be positioned using the included resin bases and mounting blocks. Installation typically involves carefully removing plastic kit parts, drilling mounting holes to proper diameter, and securing the metal replacements with CA glue. The metal construction provides durability that plastic parts cannot match, eliminating concerns about breakage during handling, painting, or display. Detailed instructions accompany each set, providing clear guidance for proper installation and finishing.
These metal detail parts represent essential upgrades for modelers seeking competition-quality results or museum-standard displays. The difference between plastic kit parts and Master Model metal replacements is immediately visible, with the metal parts providing convincing scale appearance and authentic detail that elevates the entire model's presentation. Aircraft modelers working on high-visibility subjects, competition entries, or commission builds rely on Master Model parts to achieve the level of detail that distinguishes professional work from standard kit builds. The parts work exceptionally well in combination with other aftermarket accessories including photo-etched details, resin cockpits, and custom decals.
Working in 1/48 scale provides excellent opportunities for detailed enhancement, as parts are large enough to showcase fine details while remaining manageable for installation and finishing. Master Model's 1/48 scale parts strike the ideal balance between visibility and practicality, allowing modelers to add impressive detail without requiring microscopic precision or specialized tools. The scale is well-supported by aftermarket manufacturers, enabling comprehensive detailing projects that combine metal parts, photo-etched accessories, and resin upgrades for complete aircraft transformations.
