330 gallon FPU-8/A Fuel Tank for F/A-18 (A,B,C,D) Hornet (1 pcs) (3D Printed) Scale 1:32 ResKit RSU32-0063 for Aircraft Model Kit

ResKit RSU32-0063 is a 3D printed resin set that reproduces the 330 gallon FPU-8/A external fuel tank for F/A-18 Hornet (A/B/C/D) builds in 1/32 scale (1 pc).

This aftermarket accessory is intended for aircraft scale model kits and focuses on clean tank geometry, fine surface detail, and sharper mounting features compared to simplified kit parts (kit-dependent).

On a finished Hornet, the centerline tank is a high-visibility detail. This set helps keep the tank profile consistent and the surface features crisp under primer and paint, especially around seams and attachment points.

For modelers: dry-fit the tank to your kit’s pylon/centerline station before final cleanup. For 3D printed resin, wash parts to remove residue, then remove supports gradually and sand contact points in small passes to preserve the cylindrical contour.

FAQ

Is this fuel tank compatible with any 1/32 F/A-18 kit?

The set is listed as Any / Universal, but fit can be kit-dependent. Test-fit to the kit’s centerline station and adjust the mounting interface as needed.

How should I prep 3D printed resin parts before painting?

Wash the part to remove residue, let it dry fully, then use a light primer coat to check for remaining support marks before sanding and repainting.

What is the safest way to remove supports without flattening the tank shape?

Remove supports in small sections, trim close to the surface, and sand with a flexible sanding stick so the cylindrical contour stays even.
