RESKIT RSU48-0418 150 gallon fuel tank AERO 1C USN & USMC (2 pcs) for A-4 "Skyhawk" (3D Printed) 1/48 is a unique set of modeling accessories, designed especially for military aviation enthusiasts and modelers aiming for maximum historical aircraft detail. The product is produced by the renowned company RES/KIT, known for high-quality 3D prints and attention to detail.

This particular set is dedicated to models of the Douglas A-4 "Skyhawk" aircraft in the popular 1/48 scale. The kit includes two precisely 3D-printed AERO 1C fuel tanks, each with a capacity of 150 gallons. Additional AERO 1C fuel tanks were widely used by the United States Navy (USN) and the United States Marine Corps (USMC).

These tanks were a key equipment component for the A-4 "Skyhawk", enabling extended range and participation in long-distance combat missions. A-4 aircraft equipped with extra fuel tanks took part in operations during the Cold War period, including combat actions in Vietnam, where their versatility and ability to carry diverse armament, including additional fuel, played a crucial role in the success of both combat and supply missions.
