Which 1/72 kits contain two of those longer oval drop tanks that the F4U variants carried please?

These ones :-



I need a couple for my Double Pancake and I can't find any reliable sprue pics of the various kits to check on.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

The Frog F8F Bearcat has one included in the kit, might be an option for a source.

Just checked my Italeri sprue, it has one, but the box art shows two. Don't know where the other one went to. I'll have a ferkle around and see if I can find it.

The Monogram F8F has one of the 150gal USN drop tanks, and it looks like many of
the various Hellcat kits do as well.

Attack Squadron used to make a set of two. OOP unfortunately, and it doesn't appear
that Brengun, who bought the Attack Squadron line, have put it back into production.

What about the Lockheed type as used on the P-38, Ventura etc.?



The Minicraft Ventura contains two.

Hmm, I  think I have just  made a pair of those into  Aden cannon pods, you could have had them  otherwise.  Bugger  :banghead: :banghead:
