With metal shortages during the war, the British came up of a novel way of extending a fighters range with drop tanks, made of paper.
Andy Brazier takes a look at Eduard''s resin 108gal paper fuel tanks.

Thanks for the review. I think I saw a picture on the forum of a P47 carying both the paper fuel tank as the standard one. That would be a nice idea for my P-47.
