Master Model

Master Model makes detail parts for plastic scale models, with a large range of components for aircraft. Its products include turned brass and aluminium parts, resin components and photo-etched detail sets. These are intended for people who build models and want to represent particular parts of the original aircraft more closely. The company also makes components for military vehicles and ships.

Aircraft Model Detail Parts

Aircraft modelling is a major part of the Master Model range. Its Air Master Series includes parts for different aircraft types, from the Spitfire to the MiG-21 and Alpha Jet.

These parts are not complete aircraft kits. They are individual components designed to be fitted to existing plastic models.

Some replace a specific part of the kit. Others give builders a way to represent a different version of an aircraft.

Master Model uses materials such as brass and aluminium for turned metal components. It also supplies resin and photo-etched parts for other types of model details.

This approach allows builders to work on particular areas of an aircraft rather than changing an entire model.

Spitfire Parts and Armament

Master Model makes several detail sets for Supermarine Spitfire kits.

Its range includes Hispano 20mm cannon parts and Browning machine gun details for different Spitfire versions.

The Spitfire Mk.IXe and XVIe are covered by sets for early and late versions. One set uses conical fairings, while another uses rounded fairings. Both are designed to fit Airfix kits.

The Spitfire Mk.IIb and Vb set includes Hispano 20mm cannons in fairings and Browning .303 barrel tips. This set is intended for Eduard and IBG kits.

The distinction between early and late parts matters when a builder wants to represent a particular aircraft version.

Parts for Other Aircraft

Master Model also produces components for the P-51 Mustang.

These include different carburettor air filter covers for Eduard kits. One is the RAF louvred type, version B. Another is a standard cover with holes.

A separate whip antenna is available for a P-51 Mustang fitted with a Malcolm Hood canopy.

For the MiG-21 F-13, Master Model offers a turned metal air intake ring intended for ModelSvit and other kits.

The range also includes a pitot tube for the Alpha Jet A.

Each item focuses on a specific part of an aircraft, giving builders a choice of details to add to their models.

Vehicles, Ships and Modelling Supplies

Beyond aircraft, Master Model has the Ground Master Series for vehicles and the Sea Master Series for ships.

Its vehicle parts include gun barrels and related components for the Cromwell Mk.IV, M24 Chaffee, German 5cm Pak 38 and PzKpfw II.

The company also lists tools and supplies for modelling.

For pilots and aviation fans who build scale aircraft, Master Model provides a way to focus on small technical details. Its metal and resin components are suited to builders who want to spend more time on the individual parts of an aircraft model.
