150 Gallon Fuel Tank AERO 1C USN & USMC (2 pcs) for Douglas A-4 Skyhawk (3D Printed) Scale 1:72 ResKit RSU72-0168 for Aircraft Model Kit

ResKit RSU72-0168 provides a set of two 150 Gallon fuel tanks, AERO 1C USN & USMC version, designed for the Douglas A-4 Skyhawk in 1/72, with finely detailed resin components to enhance the model's fuel tank and wing-mounted armament capabilities.

Resin/3D printed aftermarket accessory for aircraft scale model kits and miniature replicas, focusing on the fuel tank configuration typically used by the US Navy (USN) and Marine Corps (USMC) on their Skyhawk variants.

Highly detailed components designed for accurate 1/72 scale aircraft model builds, with a focus on realistic proportions, mounting points, and structural detail of the fuel tanks.

The 150 Gallon AERO 1C fuel tanks were a common loadout for the Skyhawk, often seen in US Navy and Marine Corps operations. This set adds those characteristic fuel tanks to your Skyhawk build, improving the overall accuracy and realism of the aircraft's armament and range features.

For modelers: ensure that the tanks are correctly positioned on the wings before painting. The resin parts should be painted separately to allow easy application of weathering and metallic effects for a more realistic look.
