Master AM-48-062 MiG-21bis (Fishbed L/N) - Pitot Tube (1/48) is an extremely precise aftermarket accessory dedicated to leading 1/48 scale MiG-21bis plastic aircraft kits. The set includes a turned brass pitot tube and photo-etched components, allowing you to enhance the level of detail in any miniature of this legendary Soviet supersonic fighter jet.

The MiG-21bis, NATO code: Fishbed L/N, was widely used by the Soviet Air Force as well as numerous other Warsaw Pact countries and Eastern Bloc nations such as Poland, East Germany, Hungary, and Bulgaria. The MiG-21bis fighter entered service in the early 1970s, during the Cold War period, and for many years remained the backbone of the Soviet air component as well as that of many allies. It saw active participation in numerous regional conflicts, including the Middle East and South Asia.

The pitot tube, a special probe measuring airspeed, is an essential detail on the MiG-21 model and one of the most frequently damaged or lost elements during model building. The high-quality brass pitot tube offers unmatched durability, crisp detailing, and resistance to accidental damage—unlike often brittle plastic. Additional photo-etched parts make it possible to reproduce delicate details that cannot be achieved using traditional methods.
