hey sorry for the ( what may seem to be obvious ) question, but I just don't know. I would like to put a pressed paper drop tank on my thunderbolt but I don't know what colour to paint it. The instructions seem not to mention it. Thanks for your time.

Hi Trevor.
The 105 gallon pressed paper tanks were painted silver. The same size tank in sheet steel was painted grey. The banding around the middle was red.
Hope this helps.
Have you seen the Aeroscale SIG dedicated to anything and everything P47 related?
