    Stock Japanese Drop Tank Skins

    Just a little recoloring of the stock Japanese Drop tanks.

    The three-variant colors used by the Army Air Force for drop tanks
    are believed to be: light-grey-green, mandarin, and blue.

    The light grey-green tanks are standard.

    The mandarin-color tanks were used by some Japanese bases on the main island (not oversea force) to aid in recovery for recycling when dropped.

    The blue tanks are primed only. (blue is primer color).

    Enjoy! and have a great weekend!!

    Amazing! I never had taken notice of this before, since it's on the inside front leaf cover of the box.

    I saw that when I found my box back at the start of the year. Had no idea why they would be yellow.
