LF: 48th scale F8F Bearcat Drop Tanks
kitnut617:
I'm looking for a Bearcat center line fuel tank in 1/48 scale, like this one in the pic. I have a photo of a Spiteful which has something very similar and I want to put one on one of the Spiteful kits I have.

Let me take a look this weekend. There might be something like that in an assortment of miscellaneous stores I picked up a few years ago.

There is a similar shaped fuel tank provided in the 1:48th scale AMT-Ertl/Italeri F7F Tigercat kit that might also satisfy your requirements. The older Monogram Hellcat and Corsair kits have tanks with that shape as well but slightly smaller overall. The Tigercat tank is slightly larger than the Hawk/Testor's Bearcat tank.

I think either the Bearcat or Tigercat tank would work Jeff :) but it is this elongated one I'm after.

Either tank might work.
