Historical Description: The Su-27 (NATO reporting name "Flanker") and its development, the Su-30, are multi-role fighter aircraft designed by the Sukhoi Design Bureau. The first prototype flew in 1977, and from the early 1980s, these aircraft began to enter service with the Soviet, and later Russian, air force. The "Flanker" served as an air superiority interceptor and also participated in numerous local conflicts around the world. A characteristic feature of the aircraft is the pitot tube spike on the nose of the fuselage, which is responsible for measuring airspeed.

Product Advantages: The Master AM-72-048 metal pitot tube perfectly replicates the details of the original in 1:72 scale, provides resistance to mechanical damage, and greatly increases realism compared to kit-supplied plastic parts. The precisely made tube fits all models in this scale—including Zvezda, Trumpeter, Hasegawa, Italeri, or Revell.

• Easy to install – simply prepare a hole and secure it with cyanoacrylate glue.
• Highly recommended for modelers seeking the highest level of detail and durability (for advanced and intermediate modelers).
• Assembly difficulty: 1/5 – requires basic skills in drilling and using CA glue.

Master AM-72-048 is categorized as a "metal modeling detail"—an investment that significantly enhances the realism and durability of your Su-27/Su-30 fighter replica. We recommend this product to all detail-oriented modelers!
