RESKIT RSU48-0438 600 gallon fuel tanks with pivot pylons for FB-111 (2 pcs) (3D Printed) 1/48 is a high-quality model accessory set, designed especially for aircraft modeling enthusiasts who wish to accurately replicate the FB-111A bomber at 1/48 scale. This set offers two precisely crafted, exceptionally detailed 600-gallon fuel tanks, equipped with characteristic and movable pivot pylons, allowing for a realistic presentation of the FB-111's distinctive swing-wing variable geometry layout.

• Scale: 1/48 – fits FB-111A models, including those from Hobby Boss and other manufacturers.
• Material: High-grade resin, manufactured using precise 3D printing, which results in faithfully reproduced details such as panels, welds, and attachment systems, unavailable in traditional plastic parts.
• Original user country: United States of America (USAF).
• Service period: Cold War – these tanks were used by the Strategic Air Command from the late 1960s to the early 1990s.
• Historical overview: The FB-111A aircraft, part of the F-111 family of strategic bombers, played a crucial role in the USA's nuclear deterrence during the Cold War. Long-range missions required additional fuel tanks, and the innovative pivot pylons allowed the full function of variable-sweep wings even when the tanks were mounted, distinguishing this armament from contemporary solutions.
• Category: Model accessories, 3D resin add-ons for 1/48 scale aircraft models.
• Set includes: 2 x 600-gallon fuel tanks with realistic pivot pylons – parts ready for assembly and painting.
• Assembly difficulty level: 2/5 – components are well-fitting and easy to integrate with the model, suitable even for intermediate modelers.

The RESKIT RSU48-0438 product is especially recommended for modelers focused on Cold War military aviation – both for enthusiasts of USAF aircraft and creators of realistic dioramas, as well as competitive modelers entering contests. The advanced level of detail and dimensional accuracy make it an indispensable choice for enhancing and increasing the display value of the FB-111A model.
