300-gallon fuel tanks began to be used on the F-16 Fighting Falcon mainly in the 1970s to significantly increase the operational range of the fighter. This allowed the aircraft to perform long-range combat and patrol missions, utilizing the central tank without compromising wing payload. The type 1 pylon is one of the first and most commonly used F-16 mounting solutions – widely deployed both during the Cold War and in modern NATO operations, such as missions in Kosovo (1999), Iraq, and Afghanistan.

With advanced 3D printing technology, RES/KIT provides exceptional detailing, sharp panel lines, and perfect part fit, allowing quick and easy installation in your model. Precise replication of small details such as valves, rivets, and the pylon's shape ensures unmatched realism and a high collector's value. The set is dedicated to both intermediate and advanced modelers who wish to enhance their dioramas and models in this popular scale. Additional tools for working with resin are recommended.
