Scale: 1/32

Includes 1 drop tank. 


This accurately scaled and detailed model represents the standard metal 75-gallon drop tank cut and extended in the field to carry 100 gallons of fuel.  This jettisonable fuel tank was specifically intended to be carried under the belly of P-47 Thunderbolt fighter aircraft.  It was used operationally by US and Brazilian forces in Italy during World War 2. 


Being a field-expedient modification to existing 75-gallon drop tanks, there were variations of the basic design.  This model represents a common tank with raised filler cap offset to the left side. 

This is an original product design, not a 3D-printed copy of any plastic kit's or resin parts.


These parts are made of acrylic plastic.  Acrylic plastic does not behave like injection-molded polystyrene plastic or other resins.  Glues for polystyrene plastic, like "Testors Liquid Cement" or tube cement, will not work with acrylic plastic.  Cyanoacrylate (CA) "super glue" is recommended.
