This latest release from Master features a German radar FuG 218 "NEPTUN" machined out of brass.  These were used on nightfighters Me 262, Ar 234 and other.

The quality of the machining has to be seen to be appreciated........these are amazingly detailed and of the highest quality.  The set includes complete turned brass aerials.  It is very simple to use on your model, and makes it extremely realistic. Simply cut off or replace the original plastic radar parts.  Put together aerial metal parts. We advise soldering to join metal parts together.  Drill a hole in plastic aerial frame using 0,5mm drill bit.  Insert metal parts using Cyanoacrylate adhesives.

This radar set will give your model a much higher level of accuracy and detail. 

You can purchase these and other fine detail items directly from the Master website.  

I would like to thank Master for providing me with this product sample.  Visit their website for more finely crafted detail items in a variety of scales.
