RESKIT RSU48-0419 300 gallon fuel tank AERO 1D USN & USMC (without fin & bobtail fin included) (2 pcs) (3D Printed) 1/48

The ResKit RSU48-0419 set is a high-quality scale modeling accessory specifically designed for military aircraft models in 1/48 scale. The set includes two precisely reproduced AERO 1D 300-gallon fuel tanks used by the United States Navy (USN) and the United States Marine Corps (USMC). These tanks were commonly used during long-range missions by aircraft such as the A-1 Skyraider, A-4 Skyhawk, A-6 Intruder, A-7 Corsair II, S-3 Viking, and EA-6A Prowler. Their period of use mainly encompasses the Cold War and modern times (from the 1960s up to the early 21st century), with an emphasis on the Vietnam War era and the Cold War, where they played a key role in strike and long-range air support missions.

The fuel tank models are produced using advanced 3D printing technology with high-quality resin materials, ensuring exceptional detail precision and accurate replication of the original shapes. The kit offers broad assembly options: you receive two types of rear sections (a standard end and a bobtail version). This allows you to match the tank variant even more precisely to your chosen aircraft and operational period. The absence of a vertical fin and the additional bobtail fin ends allow you to configure the perfect equipment for your model.

This product belongs to the category of 3D modeling accessories for plastic kits, intended for assembly and painting by advanced and intermediate modelers. We assess the assembly difficulty at 2/5 – assembly requires precision, but the product itself is not overly technically complicated, making it suitable for both intermediate and more experienced modelers.
