The RESKIT RS48-0338 Pivot Pylons for F-111 (A, C, D, E, F) set in 1/48 scale is a specialized modeling accessory designed for precise reproduction of the weapon mounting section on the wings of the American tactical aircraft F-111 in versions A, C, D, E, and F. Created by the renowned company RES/KIT, known for its quality and attention to detail in the modeling industry, the set is intended for discerning modelers seeking to enhance their 1/48 scale plastic aircraft model.

Historical background of the product

The F-111, also known as the "Aardvark," was an American fighter-bomber developed by General Dynamics, which debuted in the late 1960s. It was widely used by the United States and exported to Australia (F-111C). This aircraft played a key role in air operations during the Cold War and conflicts such as Operation "El Dorado Canyon" (Libya, 1986) and the Vietnam War. It served from 1967 until the early 21st century (the last units were withdrawn in Australia in 2010).

Features of the RESKIT RS48-0338 set

• Made from high-quality resin – offers much higher precision and detail than typical plastic parts.
• Includes 4 pieces: a complete set of pivot pylons to mount on the F-111 wings, dedicated for modelers building various versions of the aircraft (A/C/D/E/F).
• Designed to RESKIT’s quality standards – ensuring crisp detail and perfect fit for 1/48 scale models.
• Virtually free of flash, ready for quick preparation and assembly.
• The set does not include metal or photo-etched parts, focusing on resin elements representing the real pivot pylons, especially the swivel mechanism allowing the ordnance to move with the variable geometry of the wing.
