1:32 USAF 150 gallon fuel bowser

USAF 150 gallon fuel bowser 1:32 — a resin kit (Aerobonus)

This is a resin kit for experienced modelers of an airfield fuel bowser with a capacity of 150 gallons in the USAF version in 1:32 scale. The model is cast in resin and will complement an airfield diorama around large aircraft models. The manufacturer is the Czech brand Aerobonus (Aires), which focuses on resin airfield equipment.

The real subject

Bowsers and refueling trailers of this type serve to carry and top up fuel or service fluids on the apron. The small 150 gallon bowser is a typical element of airfield ground support and in 1:32 scale it suitably complements the scene of a large aircraft.

Building and painting tips

Wash the mold release agent off the resin parts, cut off the casting blocks and sand the mold seams down (with respiratory protection). It is glued with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue). After the primer, spray the shades of USAF airfield equipment; washes and pigments will add a working patina and a hint of drips.

Who the kit is for

• For experienced modelers building airfield dioramas in 1:32 scale.
• For complementing large aircraft models with ground support.
• For collectors of American airfield equipment.

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted as a resin kit. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
