About product

Reskit 1:72 drop tank of 610 gallons, late type, F-4 (F, G)

A resin accessory for models of the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II in 1:72 scale. It is a large drop fuel tank of 610 gallons in the late form, which Reskit ties in the name to the F-4F and F-4G versions. The set is part of a wider line that the manufacturer also offers in 1:48 and 1:32 scales and in versions for further Phantom variants.

The real subject

The F-4 Phantom II was a two-seat, twin-engined combat aircraft that became one of the most widespread Western machines of its class in the second half of the 20th century. The F-4F version came about for the Luftwaffe, while the F-4G Wild Weasel V was an American specialized adaptation for the suppression of enemy air defenses. Both machines commonly flew with large drop tanks, because range and time over the target were among the decisive parameters in this class. The tanks take a larger part in the silhouette of a machine on a model than you would expect, and their shape differs between early and late examples.

Building and painting tips

Wash the resin before the build in lukewarm water with detergent. Cut the casting block away with a saw, level the parting face on sandpaper laid on a flat surface and protect your airways when sanding. Cyanoacrylate glue holds the joints. A tank is a large smooth surface, so every unevenness shows on it; before painting it pays to spray a primer and check the surface against the light. It is usually painted in the scheme of the machine, and the transitions and the fuel staining around the filler cap can be suggested with a fine wash.

Who the set is for

  • Builders of Phantoms in 1:72 scale who want more accurate stores.
  • Modelers building the F-4F or the F-4G versions.
  • Anyone interested in the Cold War and in aircraft for the suppression of air defenses.
  • Those who work with resin and cyanoacrylate glue.

FAQ

The number of pieces is not stated here.

The manufacturer ties it to the late form on the F-4F and F-4G versions. For the F-4E and F-4EJ variants it has a separate item.

Wash it in lukewarm water with detergent, cut the casting block off, level the parting face and glue it with cyanoacrylate glue.

Usually it is enough to sand the parting face. With a large smooth surface it pays to check it after spraying a primer, before painting.
