RESKIT RSU32-0133 150 gallon fuel tank AERO 1C (FPU-3/A) USN & USMC for OV-10 A/D (1 pcs) (3D Printed) 1/32

RESKIT RSU32-0133 is a precisely crafted model of the 150-gallon AERO 1C (FPU-3/A) fuel tank, designed specifically for the OV-10A and OV-10D Bronco reconnaissance and assault aircraft. This tank was used by the United States Navy (USN) and United States Marine Corps (USMC) from the 1970s to the present day. It was most commonly used during combat operations in Vietnam, as well as in Grenada, Panama, and later armed conflicts.

The AERO 1C (FPU-3/A) fuel tanks played a key role in extending the operational range of OV-10 aircraft, which were renowned for their short takeoff and landing capabilities, versatility, and the ability to operate from improvised airstrips. Additional tanks were mounted on external pylons, enabling long-duration patrol, reconnaissance, and fire support missions.
