RESKIT RSU72-0253 MiG-25 ventral fuel tank (5280 litre) (1 pcs) (3D Printed) 1/72

RESKIT RSU72-0253 MiG-25 ventral fuel tank (5280 litre) 1/72 is a highly advanced accessory model kit dedicated to modelers building precise replicas of the MiG-25 "Foxbat" interceptor in 1/72 scale. This single underbelly fuel tank, authentically sized at 5280 liters, is manufactured using state-of-the-art 3D printing technology, which allows for extremely detailed surface texture reproduction and subtle construction details unavailable in classic plastic kits.

The MiG-25 was one of the most technologically advanced fighters of the Cold War era, designed in the USSR and operated from the late 1960s through the 1990s by the Soviet Air Force, as well as by countries in the Middle East, Africa, and India. The particularly large ventral tank with a capacity of 5280 liters was mounted under the fuselage and significantly increased the aircraft's operational range. This was crucial during long-range reconnaissance and interception missions—examples include flights over the Middle East and intercepts of foreign reconnaissance planes carried out by Soviet air forces.

This product stands out for its exceptionally accurate reproduction of details such as panel lines, welds, and technical valves—these elements are an excellent upgrade for MiG-25 models from renowned manufacturers (e.g., ICM, Hasegawa). Assembly requires care and precision, making it especially recommended for intermediate and advanced modelers who expect the highest finish quality and historical authenticity of their replicas. We rate the build difficulty as 3/5—the installation requires the right tools and a delicate touch, but thanks to the excellent print quality, fitting it to the model should not be problematic.

RESKIT RSU72-0253 MiG-25 Ventral Fuel Tank (5280 litre) is the perfect choice for Cold War Soviet aviation enthusiasts, collectors, and contest modelers wishing to faithfully recreate flying equipment in full authenticity and accuracy to the original.
