Dutch Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 (edited) I am planning my 1/48 F4H-1 Phantom II prototype build using the Academy F-4B kit with Brigade Models F4H-1 conversion set. The long resin pitot tube is bent. I am looking to substitute the Master 1/48 #48-079 B-58 brass pitot tube instead. Can someone measure the overall external length of the B-58 pitot please? The Brigade resin pitot measures really close to 52mm / 2in overall. K/r, Dutch Edited March 7, 2020 by Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pigsty Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 The bit that sticks out is 58mm, including the little flare that fairs it into the radome. It's also wide - roughly 1.6mm at the root. You could use it as gym equipment on the real thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted March 7, 2020 Author Share Posted March 7, 2020 Thanks, pigsty! I think I will obtain one then. K/r, Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
f86esabre Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Did this conversion ever get released? I am on the list to receive an email when released by hanants but nothing yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pigsty Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 2 hours ago, f86esabre said: Did this conversion ever get released? Yes, it's been at a number of shows in the UK, and it's very nice. Can't say what the Hannants situation is. But I do know that Kevin who makes them has some intermittent but serious health problems, so manufacture and distribution can be a bit patchy.

Dutch Posted March 15, 2020 Author Share Posted March 15, 2020 (edited) Hmm, I just ordered two from Hannants on Friday and the order was confirmed. It still shows 5+ in stock. Edited March 15, 2020 by Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dutch Posted March 16, 2020 Author Share Posted March 16, 2020 (edited) Steve, We are talking about the 1:48 scale B-58 pitot, are we not? I checked just now, MR48079 is in stock, 5+ at Hannants. R/ Dutch Edited March 16, 2020 by Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
f86esabre Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Sorry. I thought the F4H-1. Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
