1/72 Master Model Aftermarket Parts

Master Model 1/72 Scale Aftermarket Detail Parts

Master Model has established itself as a premier manufacturer of precision-machined metal aftermarket parts for scale aircraft models. Their 1/72 scale offerings provide advanced modelers with museum-quality detail parts that significantly enhance the accuracy and realism of aircraft kits. Each component is manufactured using precision turning and machining techniques to achieve dimensional accuracy that exceeds injection-molded plastic parts.

Precision Pitot Tubes and Probes

The Dassault Super Mystere B2 pitot tube and angle of attack probe set represents the pinnacle of aftermarket detail parts. These delicate instruments are critical to the aircraft's appearance and are notoriously difficult to replicate in injection-molded plastic. Master Model's metal versions feature hollow tubes with accurate diameters, proper mounting brackets, and authentic positioning guides. The angle of attack probes include the characteristic vanes and mounting hardware found on the actual aircraft. These parts transform the nose section of Super Mystere models, providing the crisp detail that separates museum-quality builds from standard kit assemblies.

German Aircraft Armament

The German Bordkanone 5cm cannon represents one of the most powerful aircraft weapons of World War II. Used on specialized variants of the Messerschmitt Me 262 A-1a/U4 jet fighter and Me 410 A-1/U4 heavy fighter, this massive weapon required significant airframe modifications. Master Model's 1/72 scale cannon barrel features the correct length, diameter, and muzzle brake configuration. The metal construction allows for precise drilling of the barrel opening, creating a realistic hollow appearance impossible to achieve with solid plastic parts. This detail part is essential for accurate representations of these rare and historically significant aircraft variants.

Advanced Modeling Techniques

Installing Master Model aftermarket parts requires intermediate to advanced modeling skills. Metal parts typically require careful removal from photo-etched frets or turned brass stock, followed by cleanup with fine files and sanding sticks. Drilling mounting holes in plastic kit parts demands precision and patience. Cyanoacrylate adhesive works best for metal-to-plastic bonds, while epoxy provides stronger joints for larger components. The investment in time and skill is rewarded with detail that elevates models to competition and museum display standards.
