New American Drop tanks
« on: August 24, 2007, 09:37:11 AM »
These new tanks are correct for the P-47 and P-51 (75 gallon), but are incorrect for the P-38s. The old P-38 tanks were correct. Please revert to the older tanks for the Lightnings.

Correct P-38 tanks...


P-38 tanks (165 gal) were commonly used on P-47s too...


75 gallon aluminum or steel tanks were commonly used on P47s and P-51s, but never on P-38s as they would tumble and hit the horizontal stabilizer.
