About product

American 75 gallon drop tank 1:72 — an accessory, not a model of an aircraft

The set holds a pair of jettisonable fuel tanks in 1:72 scale. It is not a model of an aircraft but a detail accessory with which you replace the coarser tanks from the box or add stores where the kit does not offer them at all. The number of pieces is stated in the name — there are two tanks in the package. The manufacturer is Brengun; the item belongs among resin and plastic accessories.

What it is for

Drop tanks of 75 gallons capacity were hung under American fighters in the Second World War to extend their range, typically on pylons under the wing or under the fuselage. On a model they suit everywhere you want to capture an aircraft configured for a long-range flight or for escort duty. The accessory is universal — it was not made for a single kit but for the given type of tank.

Building and painting tips

Wash the castings first in warm water with detergent, so that no remains of mold release agent keep the paint from adhering. Do not snap the casting blocks off — cut them with a saw or a cutter and sand the surface back; when sanding resin, protect your breathing and work wet. They glue with super glue, as cement for plastic does not work on resin. Lay on a primer before painting; metal tanks stand out with a smooth glossy silver base, painted ones with the matte covering shade of the aircraft.

Who the accessory is for

  • Builders of American Second World War aircraft in 1:72
  • Modelers who want to replace coarse tanks from the box
  • Anyone interested in an aircraft configured for long-range flight
  • Modelers with experience of resin and super glue

The accessory is supplied unpainted. Glue, paints and the base kit are not included in the package.

FAQ

Two — the number is stated directly in the name of the item.

No. It is an accessory, that is the drop tanks alone. The base kit has to be obtained separately.

With super glue. Ordinary cement for plastic will not join resin parts.

The accessory is universal for the given type of tank, and the target kit is not stated here. Compare the shape and the diameter with the pylons on your own model.
