Every wondered just how your ever going to use all those droptanks that are consigned to the spares box on a regular basis?
One option would be to stack a few up at the side of a hardstanding in a diorama, or even to create a water based diorama.Those 150G tanks made great little dinghys.
But how about this for something a little different.
An interesting cargo for the recent Tamiya 1:48th 6x6 2 1/2 ton truck release.

Ha ha brilliant pic!
Although I imagine for anyone in the general public that didn't know what those tanks were it could have been a bit un-nerving

Cool picture, Nige.
I have sort of the same issue with German drop tanks and bombs. But having seen some extremely dirty bombs and drop tanks at German airfields I will have no problem fitting them into an airfield diorama.
Thanks for sharing

I love the casual poses the the drivers have while stood on their truck
