Title: 75-Gallon Tanks
Post by: smoe on August 29, 2013, 12:26:46 PM

I was wondering if 75-gallon drop tanks or similar was used for F4U's?

Since most of the F4U -C, -D, and -4's only have one internal tank. I was hoping someone could offer proof of a tank smaller than the 150-gallon drop tank we have in the game.

I mean... they were made out of papier mache. They could just fill it halfway. It's still a bigass bulky tank hanging off the wing.

I just looked through a few thousand photos, it appears to be only a 150gal drop tank is used.

i think the ford pinto had a fuel tank made out of the same material. pretty sure the last yugo i looked at was made out of it too...
