Hasegawa 1/48 F/A-18C drop tank size? Too short?


Recommended Posts

Just to confirm, did I read somewhere that Hasegawa’s Legacy Hornet drop tanks are too short? I have a spare set of Monogram tanks and they’re >1/4” longer. I found them in the bottom of the box after I’d already painted the Hasegawa tanks and applied the decals. That’s what I get for letting a project sit long enough for me to forget what I’m doing to it.

If the Hasegawa tanks are too small, does anyone have an extra pair of “Death Angels” drop tank decals from Flying Leathernecks “Lords and Angels” decal sheet? 😢

 

Thanks!

They're 4 scale inches too short. Roughly 3/32 of an inch.
