Eduard 648531 P-51D 110gal Fuel Tank 1/48 (Brassin Set)

Eduard 648531 P-51D 110gal Fuel Tank 1/48 Brassin Set is a high-quality model kit designed to replicate the 110-gallon drop fuel tanks for the P-51D Mustang fighter aircraft in the popular 1/48 scale. The set is created by the renowned Czech manufacturer Eduard, specializing in precise accessories and add-ons for plastic scale models.

The P-51D Mustang was an American fighter aircraft widely used during World War II. The 110-gallon fuel tanks were developed to extend the Mustang’s range during long-distance bomber escort missions over the territory of the Third Reich. Drop tanks were commonly used by the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) from 1944 onwards, primarily in Europe but also by Allies in other theaters of war during that period.

This resin model kit is dedicated to modelers seeking the highest quality of detail and realism. The product is made of precisely cast resin, ensuring exceptional detail and crispness that is unattainable in most standard plastic kit parts. Eduard 648531 is a complete set containing 6 resin parts to assemble two full fuel tanks. Additionally, the kit includes decals with original maintenance markings, allowing for even more accurate replication of the actual World War II Mustang equipment.

The product is intended for assembly in plastic models from the category plastic model kit – resin detail set. Eduard 648531 is designed for the Eduard P-51D kit, but with minor modifications, it can also be used with kits from other manufacturers in the same scale.

I recommend this product to all intermediate and advanced modelers who want to significantly improve the realism of their P-51D Mustang model. The set is easy to assemble (difficulty level 2/5), fits the base model perfectly, and does not require advanced modeling skills. It is an excellent choice both for World War II military model collectors and for aviation technology enthusiasts who care about the smallest historical details in their replicas.
