CCC Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I know it's an outside chance, but is there anyone out there that has any unwanted 1/32 Tamiya (or Dragon) P-51 paper tanks? I am in process of building the Zoukei Mura version, and it doesn't have any at all. Can anyone help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Williams Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I'll have a look in the spares box. Might have a few of both types hiding in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Williams Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Does that mean you'll need the pylons too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Marshall Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 BarracudaCast has an excellent set of paper tanks- http://barracudacals.com/proddetail.php?prod=BR32016 They are the end pieces only, not complete tanks unfortunately - they are however very nice.

louiex2 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 (edited) Man!!...I don't even know what paper tanks are!!! These were one-time use drop tanks, developed in Great Britian, and made from laminated paper (similar to moden craft paper) using resin glue. The tanks were light weight but could only be used once as after they were filled the fuel would start disolving the glue after a several hours.

Very much appreciated 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallyinoz Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 i have some tanks that came with the Hasegawa P-51, dunno what type they are you can have them if you want wal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles87 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 If you get inundated with offers go for the Dragon tanks, the Tamiya ones are a little too smooth at the ends which is why Roy came up with the replacements. Sorry I'm going to use mine (eventually) on the Tamiya kit John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCC Posted July 3, 2014 Author Share Posted July 3, 2014 Does that mean you'll need the pylons too? Simon, I am ok for the pylons.... I think Can you PM me so that we may do the deal?
