f5guy Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 The kit only comes with one, but I'd like to do one under each wing. Does anyone have one that they'd be willing to sell or trade? I'm in the US, and would prefer to keep any transactions in the US as well. Thanks, Fred K. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fasteagle12 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 You can always go this route: https://www.hlj.com/1-32-scale-f-15-610-gallons-fuel-tanks-kom32025 Nice but costly.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Helmsman Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Way cheaper. https://www.kopeckyscalemodels.com/product-page/32025-f-15-610-gallons-fuel-tanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Holy Cow, $64 not including shipping! Less than half that ordering direct from the source. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
f5guy Posted March 17, 2022 Author Share Posted March 17, 2022 Hey guys, I knew that there are some aftermarket sets available, but I really only need one tank, and it will be a cold day in hell before I pay $64 + shipping from Japan for two tanks. No thanks! Thanks for your input though. Regards, Fred. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BrinsonMH Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 You might try eBay. I’ve bought several Tamiya sprues and there’s exactly the one you need listed now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fasteagle12 Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Yep...one for sale right now: https://www.ebay.com/itm/TAMIYA-F-15E-BUNKER-BUSTER-60312-PARTS-SPRUE-C-FUEL-POD-INTK-1-32-/294871827211?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fasteagle12 Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 This is how I'm doing it..(not completed). I took two 1/32 drop tanks from the F/A-18 Academy kit and made one for the Eagle. Not perfect (and a lot of filing and sanding) but good enough for my needs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Eric20203 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 How about using the Revell F-4 Eagle tanks? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Williams Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 (edited) If you want to mix and match Tamiya tanks, be careful. They introduced (slightly) corrected tanks in the F-15E Bunker Buster kit on the new sprue in that kit (while also keeping the single tank that is in the standard F-15E kit, as well and in the C and J kits). If you want to hang two tanks, one under each wing, it’s best to use the same ones. In other words, if you plan to use the old single tank, it’s best to get another of the same tank to pair with it. If you want to use the new corrected tank from the Bunker Buster kit, then have both tanks be the new tank. Don’t mix one new Bunker Buster with one old single tank. This review talks a bit about the “new” Bunker Buster tanks. http://kits.kitreview.com/f15ereviewdw_1.htm Edited August 14, 2022 by Dave Williams Quote Link to post Share on other sites
f5guy Posted August 14, 2022 Author Share Posted August 14, 2022 Thanks for your input everyone! I guess I should have updated this post..... My buddy Kent is building the exact same kit that I am and graciously donated his fuel tank to me. Thanks again, Fred. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
