D-704 Buddy Air Refueling Store (early) (1 pcs) (A-4, A-6, A-7) (3D Printed) Scale 1:32 ResKit RSU32-0146 for Aircraft Model Kit

This aftermarket D-704 buddy air refueling store represents the early external refueling pod used on several US Navy carrier-based aircraft. The set is designed as an accessory for aircraft scale model kits, helping recreate a typical aerial refueling configuration used in naval aviation.

Produced using high-resolution 3D printed resin, the pod reproduces the cylindrical housing and external structure characteristic of the D-704 system. The part is intended for accurate 1/32 scale aircraft model builds where external mission equipment adds realism to underwing stores layouts.

Buddy refueling stores allow aircraft to transfer fuel to another aircraft during flight. On scale models these pods are often mounted under wing pylons and become a distinctive external detail.

For modelers: remove printing supports carefully and test-fit the pod with the pylon attachment point before final installation. Light sanding of the mounting surface can help achieve a clean fit under the wing station.
