Historical description:
BAC TSR.2 (Tactical Strike and Reconnaissance, Mach 2), a British tactical bomber, was one of the most technologically advanced aviation projects of the 1960s. Unfortunately, for political and financial reasons, the program was canceled in 1965 before the aircraft entered operational service. The prototypes were mainly used for testing in the Royal Air Force.

The offered Pitot tube in 1:144 scale was created by Master with particular attention to the historical details of the original BAC TSR.2 aircraft. It is a key model element, responsible for the accurate reproduction of the aircraft’s airspeed measurement system – often omitted or simplified in plastic model kits. The metal-turned component ensures durability, sharp detailing, and very high resistance to breakage and mechanical damage, unlike plastic equivalents.

Application and recommendations:
The accessory fits BAC TSR.2 models by any manufacturer in 1/144 scale, significantly enhancing the quality of the finished model and its historical accuracy. Recommended for both professional dioramas and display models. Due to its small size and the precision required for installation, the product is rated as difficulty level: 2/5 – recommended for intermediate and advanced modelers.

Why choose Master products?
Precision manufacturing, excellent conformity to the original, and material durability make the Master AM-144-012 the best choice for any modeler pursuing the highest level of realism. It will enrich any BAC TSR.2 model collection and serves as an excellent detailing upgrade for both plastic kits and custom-built models.
