450 gal wing Fuel Tanks with Pylons for Republic F-105 Thunderchief (2 pcs) Scale 1:48 ResKit RS48-0397 for Aircraft Model Kit

ResKit RS48-0397 provides 450 gal wing fuel tanks with pylons for the Republic F-105 Thunderchief in 1/48 as a 2-piece set. The set is aimed at clean tank shape and pylon alignment, helping the underwing configuration look more consistent when the model is displayed with external stores fitted.

This set is useful when you want the wing tanks and pylons to read as a matched installation, with straight mounting geometry that stays clean after primer and paint.

For modelers: dry-fit the pylons to the wing first and mark the final position before glue (kit-dependent). Check both sides for equal angle and spacing; then add the tanks and verify they sit parallel when viewed from the front.

FAQ

Is this set kit-specific?

The set is listed as Any / Universal, but wing mounting points and pylon geometry can vary between kit manufacturers. Always dry-fit before final installation.

What is the best order for installation?

Fit and align the pylons first, then attach the tanks. This makes it easier to keep both tanks at the same angle and distance from the wing.

How can I keep both tanks symmetrical?

Use a ruler or simple spacing jig when positioning pylons, then compare the tanks from the front and underside before glue cures.
