ScottsGT Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Anyone know if these are the 300 or 600 gallon drop tanks? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Judging by the chubbiness of the tank I would say 600 For comparison here are 600 gallons ,instead of usual 370s and the centre hard point carries 300 gallon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottsGT Posted February 24, 2019 Author Share Posted February 24, 2019 I guess I asked the wrong question. 370 or 600. Working on the Academy kit. Come with every flavor known. Might build them all and see which looks closest to the photo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I would use 600, that is the standard nowadays, you can't see very many 370s in service that often anymore. There is one think that is different between those two Scott , 370 has two fuel ports at the top as such. 600gal/ has one at the front and two at the rear Sgt. Mendoza is covering this part with his hand and whole bunch of circular covers on the side 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish I saw that photo earlier before the wings went together and glued on. Gotta try to figure out how to drop those leading edges now. I’m Building it in take off mode just like this with gear going up. Now the big question.....which image is the latest paint job. I guess I’ll send these to my MD tomorrow and ask him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I’m use to painting the older F-16’s, but are they now just two colors? FS 36270 on the bottom, vertical tail and forward of the darker FS36118? FS36375 no longer used? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottsGT Posted April 14, 2019 Author Share Posted April 14, 2019 Ok, to answer my own question, new paint is two tone. And the funny thing is, FS36270 is almost an exact match for Tamiya gray spray primer. I thought I was spraying water only at first. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denizkocatepe Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Hello, does anyone know the actual dimensions of all F16 fuel tanks? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Scott, late to the party and the drop tanks surely look like the 600 gal type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, that project is long done and gone! It was a build for my GP/MD. He’s a back seat rider to get air time as the flight surgeon. It was a gift I built for him. He loved it. And of course him in the back seat with his latex glove on I was so familiar with. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Scott Awesome build and I need to look at the dates on posts so I don't seem like a senor with CRS. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
