Default BVM 80" Sabre drop tank length

Hi guys.
I just ordered drop tanks for my 1/5.8 BVM Sabre and want to be sure I got the right size and did not order the 63" Saber tanks. How long are the big BVM Sabre tanks?
Thanks!

Just measured mine and they are 23 and 3/4"" long or 603mm if you prefer metric.

Right from BVM. They are made to order but I know they make 2 sizes and want to be sure I got the right ones. They have been shipped and will be here on Wednesday so I will measure them as soon as I get them. the 1/5 .8 PNP f-86 is made from Bob's original molds so these tanks were actually built for that model. but again they also offer tanks for the 63 inch version I want to make sure I get the right ones.

Thanks, I have one of the PNP 1/5.8 F-86 almost ready to maiden, but sure would like to add the tanks. Please let us know how they work out.
