Master AM-32-134 A-4 Skyhawk – Pitot Tube on Vertical Stabilizer 1/32 is an advanced modeling detail dedicated to enthusiasts of plastic aircraft models. The product has been developed especially for A-4 Skyhawk aircraft models in 1/32 scale. This is a high-quality Pitot tube, faithfully replicating the element found on selected, later variants of this iconic machine, such as A-4M, OA-4M, and TA-4J. These versions saw widespread use in the United States (USN, USMC) as well as countries such as Israel and Brazil.

The A-4 Skyhawk is a light, carrier-based attack jet aircraft designed by the Douglas Aircraft Company. Developed in the late 1950s, it took active part in numerous combat operations, especially during the Vietnam War and conflicts in the Middle East. Its service life spans from the Cold War through to the modern era, with variants like the A-4M introduced in the 1970s. Moving the location of the Pitot tube from the standard nose mounting to the top of the vertical fin was a solution that greatly improved measurement reliability – particularly important during carrier operations and in challenging weather conditions.

The set includes:

• Precisely turned metal Pitot tube made from high-quality brass
• Ready-to-install element – requires no additional finishing
• Compatibility with Trumpeter, Hobbycraft, and other 1/32 plastic A-4 model kits
• Exceptional durability and break resistance compared to plastic parts
• Accurate 1/32 scale reproduction, consistent with aircraft documentation

Category: Metal modeling accessory – accessory intended for scale plastic model kits.

Material: Precision-turned brass.

This product is especially recommended for intermediate and advanced modelers who want to enhance the authenticity of their models and replace factory-supplied, delicate components with a solid, durable alternative. The detail offers instant installation, requires minimal technical skills, and matches the aesthetics of the original aircraft equipment.

Assembly difficulty level: 1/5 – easy to assemble for both beginner and experienced modelers.

Master AM-32-134 is an excellent choice if you wish to increase the realism of your A-4 Skyhawk models (A-4M, OA-4M, or TA-4J version), providing an accurate reproduction of an important, often omitted structural detail.
