Eric Trueblood........would that be Eric Hokuf? Cant help with P-51 fuse tank. Precision Aerospace are making P-40 fuse tanks from scratch, but I would have thought Aircorps Aviation would have had similar capabilities to Precision. So I'm guessing your not interested in new manufacture?

On another matter, have you seen the interior cockpit shots of the Sahara P-40(RAF,260Sqdn HS-B)? The cockpit green between frame 4 and frame 5 RHS under upper right longeron. There is always the faded argument, but it looks the same green as all my original P-40 cockpit parts. I found that very interesting.

I inquired about that tank & it is a welded aluminum tank for the ferry flight to the UK, not the original molded rubber tank.

Eric,

There may be one in the hanger. Do you know the P/N for the tank?
I'll check next week when I go back up.
