The 1/32 Metallic Details USAAF WWII Pitot Tubes (#MDR3268) is a finely detailed aftermarket accessory designed to enhance 1/32 scale aircraft models of the U.S. Army Air Forces during World War II. Produced using high-resolution 3D printing, this set provides accurate replacements for the pitot tubes commonly simplified or molded too thick in many plastic kits.
The set includes eight pitot tubes in total—four for the left side and four for the right side of the fuselage—allowing modelers to select the correct configuration depending on the aircraft type and installation position. These precision parts capture the slender profile and structural details of the original probes, helping improve the realism and scale accuracy of the finished model.
Pitot tubes are essential flight instruments used to measure airspeed by sensing dynamic air pressure, making them a common external feature on aircraft. On WWII U.S. bombers and patrol aircraft, they were typically mounted along the fuselage or nose section where they could receive unobstructed airflow.
This set is ideal for upgrading large-scale models of U.S. Army Air Forces aircraft, including:
• B-17 Flying Fortress
• B-24 Liberator
• B-25 Mitchell
Set Features
• Designed for 1/32 scale WWII USAAF aircraft models
• Includes 8 pitot tubes (left and right side configurations)
• High-resolution 3D-printed components
• Accurate and finely detailed replacement for kit parts
• Improves external realism and scale accuracy
This upgrade set provides an easy yet highly effective way to enhance the realism of WWII aircraft models, replacing oversized kit probes with scale-accurate pitot tubes that add a subtle but important finishing detail.
