MARU5137 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 more info on Japanese fuel tanks. Japan Grounds Its Fleet of F-15s After Fuel Tank Falls Off in Flight https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.businessinsider.com/japan-f15-fleet-grounded-2011-10%3famp and quote from the know- it -all -Tinternet. The lack of self-sealing fuel tanks on many Japanese aircraft in WWII was not a “problem” it was a feature. The Japanese intentionally gave up self-sealing tanks to achieve greater range and lighter weight. That was a decision based upon Japanese doctrine as to air power. You can argue that the doctrine was wrong (I certainly would at least for the time period after mid-1942), but the decision to limit self-sealing tanks in Japanese aircraft was a conscious and intentional decision-not a mistake. geedubelyer and Anthony in NZ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kagemusha Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 If you do decide to produce some JASDF-specific drop tank, maybe you would consider the radome, which has (I think) static dischargers, if you right click on the image to open in a new tab, then hit the enlarge you can see them clearly.
