1/32 P-51 paper tanks - help required


Recommended Posts

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?

:please:

They are the end pieces only, not complete tanks unfortunately - they are however very nice.

You are correct- I forgot you need the center tank piece.

Man!!...I don't even know what paper tanks are!!! :banghead:

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.

Thanks for that. Something I never knew.

Very much appreciated

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

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?

Many thanks for the replies from everyone.

regards

Chris
