    Dimensions of 52 gallon Drop Tank for P-40E

    Bear in mind that those schematics are for the early belly tanks. Not sure if the later versions are the same measurements.

    F4U-1D and FG-1D Corsair Rocket stubs.

    Thanks Juanita, I look forward to your email. Those certainly look the right shape for a Corsair fit. The Mustang had different shaped stubs, see pic.
