RESKIT RS32-0399 A/A42R-1 "BUDDY" AIR REFUELING STORE (1 PCS) (3D PRINTED) 1/32 is a precisely manufactured and highly realistic accessory set dedicated to all aircraft modelers who want to raise the level of detail of their 1/32 scale aircraft models. Designed by the renowned RESKIT company, this set replicates the A/A42R-1 "Buddy" air refueling pod – a key piece of equipment for US Navy carrier-based aircraft.

The "Buddy" system is a universal pod designed for refueling other aircraft in mid-air. Used extensively from the Cold War era to the present day, it has been deployed on such aircraft as: F/A-18 Hornet, S-3 Viking, MQ-25 Stingray, A-6 Intruder, EA-6 Prowler, A-7 Corsair II, and A-4 Skyhawk. Thanks to this, modelers receive a versatile accessory compatible with many popular 1/32 scale aircraft models that represent machines serving mainly in the United States Navy – from the 1960s, through Operation Desert Storm, to modern-day military operations.
