Eduard 672376 P-51D 165gal fuel tanks PRINT EDUARD 1/72 is a unique set of modeling accessories designed for the P-51D Mustang aircraft model in the popular 1/72 scale. Manufactured by the renowned Czech company Eduard, this set allows for accurate reproduction of two external 165-gallon fuel tanks used by the United States Air Force during World War II.

The included fuel tanks were a key feature of the P-51D Mustang fighters, increasing the aircraft’s range during long-distance bomber escort missions over Europe in 1944-1945. Thanks to these tanks, Mustangs could effectively provide fighter cover for Allied bombers all the way to the heart of the Third Reich. The offered set enables the faithful replication of this equipment, as seen in operations such as “Big Week” and the Normandy landing.
