TANK ASSEMBLY
❑
1. Lightly sand the outside of the drop tank halves with 400-grit
sandpaper. This will help the primer and paint adhere to the surface.
❑
2. Trim off the excess plastic to the cut lines on the inside of the
tank with scissors or a hobby knife. Use 220-grit sandpaper to even
up the edges of the glue flange.
❑
3. Use 220 or 150-grit sandpaper to roughen the edges of the
flanges where the two halves will be glued together.

WARBIRD DROP TANK
INSTRUCTIONS
Thank you for purchasing the Top Flite 108 Gallon Drop Tank
kit. This tank will add a great deal of realism and presence to
many 1/8th scale warbirds. The tank is lightweight and easy to
assemble and finish. It is easy to make droppable on a warbird
under construction. If you are going to add it to a model that is
already built, it would be easier to make it removable manually,
without servo control.
