About Pitot Tubes

The pitot tube is a critical instrument on aircraft that measures airspeed by detecting air pressure differences. On scale models, replacing the molded plastic pitot tube with a turned metal version adds a professional level of detail and prevents the fragile part from breaking during handling or display. This is especially important for Soviet aircraft like the I-16, where the pitot tube was a prominent feature.

This brass pitot tube is an essential upgrade for modelers working on 1/72 Clear Prop aircraft kits, and complements other aftermarket accessories in our comprehensive 1/72 Clear Prop Aftermarket Parts collection.
