Nice work John -- looks real good!
Were those drop tanks really OD green? Interesting...

No, in real life they were grey, according to Mike Grant's instructions. But I wanted to replicate the box art, just a nostalgia trip for me. Thanks for the nice comments

Seeing the pic with the ones you built in the 60's is cool. The fact that you still have them after 55 years is amazing.

We all need a nostalgia trip now and then John.

There were a few drop tanks in OD. Although most were Neutral Gray or later in Natural Metal
