ResKit RSU48-0253 RPL 701 Fuel Tanks represent the 1250-liter external tanks used on Dassault Rafale aircraft and are designed for 1/48 scale model kits. The set includes three tanks with refined shape and surface detail typical for Rafale external fuel stores.

Aftermarket 3D printed accessory intended for aircraft scale model kits and miniature replicas. Precision components support accurate 1/48 scale aircraft model builds and help recreate realistic external load configurations.

The Rafale commonly carries RPL 701 external tanks to extend operational range during training and operational missions. These tanks are mounted on underwing and centerline pylons and are clearly visible on the finished aircraft model.

For modelers: carefully remove the 3D printing supports and test-fit the tanks with the pylons before painting. Checking alignment early helps ensure symmetrical placement when installing multiple tanks.
