wanted 1/72 fuel tanks

[thedarkmaster]

I'm looking for underwing fuel tanks for my Empires Twighlight Thread, something along the size of a MIG 25 or 31 store would be great . Will trade for bear vouchers or whatever i've got in my stash.

Thanks

Got any number of the big F-4 centreline tanks both the old 'pointy' USN/USMC type and the F-15 type that the later USAF macines carried,  if they would be any good to you, let me know.....

......BTW, what sort of Bear Vouchers do you have ? Steiff, Yogi, Rupert, Jeremy, Smokey, Brown, Grizzley, Gummy ?

Ok so i can't spell  but your knowledge of bears is frankly frightening me 

The later f-15 types may work, pm and let me know whay you want for them

thanks

So whats a "macines" Ian ? 

[Captain Canada]

Macines are and Indian tribe from the Detroit area, Aircav. They use surplus USAF droptanks as canoes when they hunt Rhinoceros on the Detroit River ice floes.....

[JayBee]

OK CC, you have now GOT to produce a model of a hunting party in their Droptank canoes!!!!!

Always thought the the F-100 droptanks would make a very nice tin shark

Don't forget that drop tanks also make great LSR machines, just add wheels, engine, steering wheel and a seat.  Oh, brakes may be useful also.
I think we may just have to have a Drop Tank GB.  Start with any scale drop tank and turn it into a vehicle of some sort.

Now there's a neat idea! What's the largest drop tank available?

Of course it would be a case of 'Scale-O-Rama' rules OK too. Somewhere I have a 1/48 Airfix Tonka F3 with those humunguous 'Hindenberger' tanks......

Now that's a cracker jack idea! I have one the ever-generous Jeff Fontaine sent me that;s about the size of a cordless phone.

Here's something I built out of a 1/72 scale drop tank a while back.

That's the idea BDB.

Here is a LSR bidder


And Tim, I have a bunch of drop tanks on this side of the pond.  If you can't get what you need from the locals, let me know and I will run through them for you.

[Aircav]

I've some nice 1/48 and 1/32 droptanks too, looks like this could be a GB

[Ed S]

This might be an interesting GB.  I'm sure I have some spare tanks I could do something with.

The biggest 'drop tank' I know of is in the 1/48 B-58 Hustler and wanted to make my LSR Aerosan out of it but "need'' the tank elsewhere more.


Now as to the pressed paper tanks in the Monogram P-51D kit............I claim dibs.        No, not really, but do have an idea.

Oh yes, that's a MONSTER! Almost the same size as a Hunter I'd have thought.
