The 200-gallon fuel tanks for the F-100 Super Sabre were mainly used by the United States Air Force in various theaters of operation during the Cold War, and most notably during the Vietnam War. They significantly extended the operational range of the F-100 fighter-bomber, which was often tasked with escort, ground attack, and reconnaissance missions over large distances. Proper reproduction of these tanks is crucial for creating faithful replicas of the aircraft from specific service periods, especially for enthusiasts of historical aircraft modeling.

The precise 3D printing guarantees dimensional accuracy and excellent sharpness of details — you will get realistically rendered panel lines, rivets, and mounting points. The components are lightweight and easy to prepare for assembly. With this set, you can significantly increase the realism of F-100 models from any manufacturer: Hobby Boss, Italeri, Monogram, Kinetic, or Trumpeter.

We recommend this product to intermediate and advanced modelers who want to give their model exceptional character and authentic historical accuracy. We rate the assembly difficulty as 2/5 – it does not require major modifications to the original model's shape, though for best results, minor sanding and fitting may be needed. The RESKIT RSU48-0223 upgrade set is an excellent addition to any aviation history enthusiast’s collection, especially those focused on the Cold War and the Vietnam conflict.
