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.

Where did you order the tanks?

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.

My tanks came today. Very nicely done and they are the correct size for the Bigger Saber.
thanks again!
