D-704 Buddy Air Refueling Store (early) (1 pcs) (A-4, A-6, A-7) (3D Printed) Scale 1:48 ResKit RSU48-0364 for Aircraft Model Kit

ResKit RSU48-0364 represents the D-704 buddy air refueling store (early type) used by several U.S. Navy carrier aircraft. The set provides a single refueling pod produced for 1/48 aircraft model builds.

Aftermarket accessory intended for aircraft scale model kits, designed to reproduce the external refueling pod structure and hose drum housing with sharper geometry than simplified kit accessories.

Precision component developed for realistic 1/48 scale aircraft model builds, produced using high-resolution printing to maintain smooth pod contours and structural detail.

The set represents the early D-704 buddy refueling store commonly carried by carrier-based aircraft such as the Douglas A-4 Skyhawk, Grumman A-6 Intruder, and LTV A-7 Corsair II, allowing modelers to reproduce an in-flight refueling configuration.

For modelers: test-fit the pod to the centerline or wing pylon before painting. Installing the refueling store late in the build helps preserve surface detail and ensures correct alignment with the aircraft pylon.
