After World War II, hot rodders raced the dry lakes of California to set new land speed records. External drop tanks turned the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt from a short-range interceptor aircraft into a long-range escort and air superiority fighter, enabling it to accompany bombers from British Isles into Germany, and made it possible for heavy bomber formations to undertake daylight raids under escort by North American P-51 Mustangs. (For this mission, each fighter carried one drop tank of approximately 150 to 165 US gal (570 to 620 L), and a larger one of approximately 300 to 330 US gal (1,100 to 1,200 L). Some of the drop tank's fuel is used to overcome the added drag and weight of the tank itself. the F-4E/Gs shifted to the F-15s high speed tank.

Usually the fuel in the drop tanks is consumed first, and only when all the fuel in the drop tanks has been used, the fuel selector is switched to the airplane's internal tanks. Newbie. Here you can discuss paint schemes, kit details etc. http://www.airliners.net/photo/Germany---A...F-4F/1653244/L/, Original "Royal Jet" centerline tank on an F-4S (USN F-4s used only this type), http://www.airliners.net/photo/USA---Navy/...F-4S/0975426/L/. Another common metal drop tank was the 150-to-165-gallon model used by P-51s, P-47s and P-38s.[9]. F/A-18 "Super" Hornet 5 x 480 gallon tanks. I finally ordered the WRM tanks but I'll have to convert them (to use on Israeli and Japanese Eagles). Sign up for a new account in our community.
Unfortunately, they were already OOP! 1 post • Page 1 of 1. However it may explain why the most often-used fuel tanks for single-engined American fighters operating in Northern Europe were the 75-gallon (284 litre) capacity all-metal tank (made from two halves of formed aluminium with a prominent horizontal seam running along the tank's midline).

600 gal drop tanks. F-35A is 51 ft long and 35 ft wide and carries 9 tons of internal fuel and 2.5 tons of weapons internally. Wow, thank you everyone!
That way you will have two tanks that match, even though them will be a bit off. Link to post Share on other sites.
There were two types of centerline tanks used on some F-4s. The Messerschmitt Bf 109 fighter also used this type of drop tank, starting with the Bf 109E-7 variant introduced in August 1940.
