Fuel Tanks Sikorsky CH-53 (2 pcs) Scale 1:48 ResKit RSU48-0005 for Helicopters Model Kit

This aftermarket external fuel tank set is designed for the Sikorsky CH-53 helicopter family. The parts serve as accessories for helicopter scale model kits, helping reproduce the distinctive auxiliary fuel tanks commonly mounted on CH-53 series aircraft.

Manufactured in detailed resin components, the set includes two external tanks intended for realistic 1/48 scale helicopter model builds. These tanks improve the external configuration of the helicopter by providing refined shapes and surface detail compared with typical kit parts.

The CH-53 Sea Stallion family often carries external fuel tanks mounted along the fuselage sides to extend operational range. On scale models these tanks become a prominent visual element of the helicopter’s silhouette.

For modelers: dry-fit the tanks against the fuselage mounting points before painting. Light sanding of the contact areas can help achieve a smooth fit along the helicopter’s side structure.
