About product

Wing tanks of 370 gallons with pylons, 1:32 scale

This set from Reskit completes a large F-16 model with a pair of drop tanks under the wings together with their pylons. According to the name it is the type 1 version made by 3D printing. The item belongs among add-on accessories, so the base kit has to be your own.

The real subject

Tanks with a capacity of three hundred and seventy gallons hang on the inboard wing stations and, together with a centerline tank, make up the classic ferry configuration. They increase the range enough for the machine to manage a transfer between distant bases; in combat maneuvering, though, they are jettisoned, because they limit the permitted g loading.

Building and painting tips

Symmetrical placement of the two tanks is the key: before you offer the first one up, measure the position on both halves of the wing and note it down. Degrease the surface once prepared and spray a primer, otherwise every fingerprint will show on the smooth body. The tanks are often painted in a somewhat cooler shade than the wing, so it is worth trying the tone out on an offcut.

What to bear in mind about the configuration

When an aircraft carries a pair of wing tanks, the outboard stations stay free for armament and the place on the axis of the fuselage often goes to a jamming pod. After the tanks are jettisoned, bare pylons stay on the wing, so even a machine with no fuel under the wings has pylons underneath that must not be forgotten during the build.

Who the set is useful for

  • Builders who want a model in ferry configuration
  • Enthusiasts of modern single-engine fighters
  • Modelers working in a large scale
  • Those who are building a scene with an aircraft before a long transfer

The package contains neither paints nor glue.

FAQ

The name gives two pieces, that is, tanks for the left and the right half of the wing.

Yes, it is precisely the combination of wing and centerline tanks that makes up the typical ferry configuration.

The safest way is to measure the position on both wings and glue only after a dry test.
