Well,to make a long story short,I am looking for information (preferably photo’s) of F-15E drop tanks from all aspects. ESPECIALLY the drop tanks that are ‘nestables’ or War Reserve Material.The most glaring difference of these drop tanks from other ‘normal’ tanks is that ‘Nestables’ are painted in a ghost grey color that contrasts greatly from the typical gunship grey that the Mudhen is painted. See pic:
It also has a blunt trailing end (similiar to the F-16 tank) instead of the pointed end more commonly seen.I am about to modify one or both tanks for my Tamiya F-15E and I am needing to know where exactly I should begin.I have looked high and low even to Sargent Fletcher (the manufacturer of the real tanks) to no avail.FIY, ‘nestable’ tanks are cheaper than the standard drop tanks and are used mainly in combat operations in the event the drop tanks have to be jettisoned.Anyway… help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.Thank you!
