RESKIT RSU48-0304 MIRAGE 2000 RPL 522 EXTERNAL FUEL TANK 1300LT (3D PRINTED) 1/48

RESKIT RSU48-0304 MIRAGE 2000 RPL 522 EXTERNAL FUEL TANK 1300LT (3D PRINTED) 1/48 is a high-quality model kit, designed specifically as an add-on for 1/48 scale Mirage 2000 aircraft models. This product is dedicated to modelers who expect the highest level of detail and wish to enhance their aircraft replicas with a realistic RPL 522 fuel tank with a capacity of 1300 liters, as used on the original machines.

The Mirage 2000 is a multi-role fighter produced by the French company Dassault Aviation, introduced into service in the 1980s. The aircraft was used primarily by France, but also found its way into the inventories of several foreign air forces, including India, Egypt, Greece, the United Arab Emirates, and Peru. The Mirage 2000 played a significant role in conflicts such as the Gulf War and the Kargil engagements.

The external RPL 522 fuel tank offered by RESKIT was frequently used in actual combat operations, increasing the range of the Mirage 2000 during reconnaissance, interception, and strike missions, especially during the Cold War and in modern times. It was an important equipment piece for missions requiring long-range operations and allowed aircraft to remain airborne longer.

• Scale: 1/48
• Country of use: mainly France and countries operating the Mirage 2000
• Period of use: from the end of the Cold War to the present day

• Category: model accessories and add-ons, detail sets (3D printed)
• Item: RPL 522 external fuel tank with 1300-liter capacity

The model features detailed surface texture—with visible panel lines and technical fittings typical for aviation equipment—ensuring high realism for both static displays and dioramas. 3D printing enables achieving a level of detail unattainable for traditional injection-molded plastic kits.

We recommend this product mainly for intermediate and advanced modelers who want to improve the quality of their replicas—both during the build and for display or collection purposes. The assembly kit does not include any metal or photo-etched parts, but no modeler should have difficulty integrating the resin components with a plastic kit. Build difficulty level: 2/5—the product requires only basic experience with resin handling and model accessory assembly.

RESKIT RSU48-0304 MIRAGE 2000 RPL 522 EXTERNAL FUEL TANK 1300LT (3D PRINTED) 1/48 stands out for its excellent accuracy and precision—making it the perfect choice for aviation enthusiasts and military model collectors looking for unique additions to their 1/48 scale Mirage 2000 models.
