Eduard 6481001 P-51B/C 108gal Drop Tanks PRINT EDUARD 1/48 is a professional set of modeling accessories for the P-51B or P-51C Mustang fighter aircraft in the popular 1/48 scale. Developed by the renowned Eduard company, this set enables every modeler to faithfully recreate the characteristic 108-gallon external fuel tanks used by the US Air Forces during World War II.

Historical background and application

The 108-gallon (approx. 409 liters) tanks were commonly used during Allied campaigns between 1943-1945, primarily on North American P-51 Mustang aircraft. Thanks to them, these fighters could perform long-range escort missions over occupied Europe, protecting USAAF strategic bombers. The drop tanks, usually made of pressed paper, allowed pilots to safely jettison the tanks once emptied, improving the aircraft’s maneuverability and performance in combat.
