@pb_legend @gblair @fiveten @johnb yesterday night I was painted some details. I am curious about the color of the discarded fuel tanks? I'm curious about the color of the discarded fuel tanks. Maybe you have any suggestions? I thought to paint them with a different shade of aluminum. Maybe matt aluminum?

Hi, @lis. I think these drop tanks were generally left unpainted. I have seem some that were painted to match the color of the plane, but I think that as the war progressed they probably left them unpainted. I dug around the internet and found some photos of British Mustangs with tanks, and they look unpainted. So, aluminum would be good, even for the "paper" tanks. Model is looking good.

@gblair Kit had this first one metal 75 Gallon drop tank. So if unpaindet I use standard Super Silver II.

@lis, I think you are ok by following the above recommendations.
Using the same color as the fuselage should be fine as you suggested.

Drop tanks look great, @lis.

Looking great indeed, my friend @lis!

Glad to see you back, my friend @lis!
Looking great!
