B43-0 External Stores Set (2 pcs) (F-100D/F, F-101A/C, F-104A/C, F-105D/F, FB-111A, F-111A/D/E/F, F-4C/D/E) (3D Printed) Scale 1:48 ResKit RS48-0588 | Unassembled Plastic Display Model

ResKit RS48-0588 scale model accessory set includes two B43-0 external stores as 3D printed parts for 1/48 aircraft builds. The set is useful when you want a cleaner, more consistent store shape than typical kit parts, especially around the nose profile and tail section where small alignment issues become obvious on centerline mounts.

Aftermarket resin accessory designed for aircraft scale model kits.

Highly detailed resin parts intended for accurate 1/48 scale aircraft models.

This item works as a flexible loadout detail for several classic jet subjects, while the exact pylon, sway brace, and attachment method remain kit-dependent.

For modelers: dry-fit the external stores to your chosen station before painting and mark a centerline so the store cannot twist during assembly. After support cleanup, wash the parts and apply a thin primer coat to keep edges crisp and to reveal any remaining contact points.

FAQ

Will this set fit any 1/48 kit of the listed aircraft?

It is intended as an Any / Universal set, but pylons and attachment points vary by kit. Use a quick fit-check and adapt the mounting to your specific kit and station.

How should I mount the external stores if my kit has no locating pins?

Mark a centerline on the pylon and drill a shallow locating hole, then add a short pin or small tab so the store cannot rotate while glue sets.

How do I clean up 3D printed supports without flattening detail?

Remove supports in small steps and sand only the contact points. After washing, apply a thin primer coat to reveal any remaining marks without softening edges.

Should I paint before or after attaching to the pylon?

For easiest alignment, test-fit and set the mounting first, then paint separately and attach at the end. This helps keep seams and contact points tidy.

Important: This is a non-functional scale model accessory intended only for plastic model kits, dioramas, and display builds. It is not usable as a real-world component or self-defense product.
