AERO 1D tanks were widely used on Harrier II aircraft in expeditionary and combat operations, allowing an extended operational range during missions in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Balkans. Mounted under the wings, they enabled pilots to perform long-duration flights without the need for frequent refueling. Their use was crucial during fire support and airborne operations.

Thanks to 3D printing technology, the RESKIT set stands out with extremely sharp technical details — clearly defined mounting lines, service handles, valves, and surface structure, providing a level of realism unattainable with traditional casting methods. Both experienced aircraft modelers and collectors focused on authentic configurations of their miniatures will appreciate these features.

The product is recommended for modelers with intermediate and advanced experience (difficulty level 2/5). It is an excellent way to enrich dioramas and enhance the display value of your Harrier models in modern NATO operation scenes.

Choose RESKIT RSU72-0166 if you care about highly realistic appearance, outstanding detail quality, and compatibility with the most popular 1/72 scale aircraft models. An ideal addition for aviation modeling enthusiasts and historical reenactment fans.
