RESKIT RSU72-0269 330 Gallon FPU-8/A fuel tank for F/A-18 (A,B,C,D) "Hornet" (1 pcs) (3D printed) 1/72

RESKIT RSU72-0269 is a professional model accessory designed for the most demanding aircraft modelers. The set features a single FPU-8/A 330-gallon fuel tank, dedicated for F/A-18 Hornet strike fighter aircraft in variants A, B, C, and D, primarily used by the United States Navy (United States Navy) and the United States Marine Corps (USMC). These types of tanks were widely used during the transition from the Cold War era to modern times, both in armed conflicts and in patrol or training missions – an example being the participation of the F/A-18 Hornet in operations such as "Desert Storm" (Gulf War, 1991), "Enduring Freedom," and many NATO missions.

The product is made using 3D printing from high-quality resin, ensuring crisp details and durability not achievable with conventional injection molding techniques. The level of accuracy is very high: you get sharply defined technical details, realistic surface texture, and precise mounting elements true to the actual FPU-8/A tank construction. The accessory is specifically designed for 1/72 scale plastic model kits and makes an excellent addition to F/A-18 kits from brands such as Hasegawa, Revell, or Academy—delivering a higher level of realism than the original kit parts.

This historically and technically refined FPU-8/A fuel tank guarantees an authentic representation of modern Hornet jets in 1/72 scale.
