I met up with the new owner of CAM resin details at the 2006 IPMS/USA
National Convention and not only is he reissuing the existing CAM
detail line, he's already releasing new subjects as well.
This set is a rather simple upgrade for your favorite 1/48 scale
P-47 Thunderbolt or P-51 Mustang. These are seamless paper drop
tanks that were doped silver and could easily be carried by one
person (before fueling that is).
This set consists of a pair of tanks with the forward ends of
the tanks molded separately. Glue the ends of the tanks onto the
main tank parts, paint them dull silver, and simply hang them on
the external pylons of your long-range escort P-51D or P-47D. You're
ready to head to Berlin.

My sincere thanks to John's
Models for this review sample!
