About product

A 600 gallon centerline drop tank for the A-10 Thunderbolt II, 1:72 scale

The accessory set deals with a single element of the load: the high-capacity jettisonable tank that the A-10 attack aircraft carries on the centerline station under the fuselage. The name gives one piece. This is not a kit of the aircraft, but a part that is added to a model already built.

Why reach for resin

In injection-molded boxings, tanks tend to be split into two shells, so that a seam runs along the whole length and has to be filled and sanded down. With a one-piece casting this step falls away and the surface of revolution stays smooth even after a coat of gloss varnish. The shape of the mounting adapter and the transition to the pylon are clearer as well.

The real subject

The A-10 Thunderbolt II from the workshop of Fairchild Republic is a single-seat attack aircraft built literally around the seven-barrel GAU-8/A cannon. The pair of TF34 engines set high above the tail of the fuselage, the armored tub around the cockpit and good behavior at low speeds made it an instrument of direct support for ground units. Large external tanks appear on it mainly on long-distance ferry flights.

Recommended procedure

  • First rinse the part in lukewarm water with detergent, so that no mold release agent stays on the surface.
  • Cut the casting remnant off with a fine saw and level the mating surface flat.
  • Secure the join with superglue; on larger surfaces an activator will help.
  • Sand wet and with protection of the airways, as the dust from resin is fine.
  • Apply a base before the shade, otherwise the paint will hold poorly on the smooth surface.

The set is intended for modelers who want to give a 1:72 machine a more faithful installation. The paints, the glue and the pylons do not belong with it.

FAQ

It is not. This is exclusively the drop tank, which you add to a model of the A-10 that you obtain separately.

Ordinary plastic cement will not join resin. Use cyanoacrylate superglue, or else a two-part epoxy.

The name gives one piece. If you are planning an installation on several stations, reckon on a matching number of packages.

Yes, washing and a coat of base are recommended. On smooth resin without an undercoat the paint peels off easily.
