NP you can alternate between the two simply by putting the "-" key in front of the folders name. This way if your flying with the late skin of the F6F you will have Droptank to match your colors... :wink:

Of course, but i just wanted to know if you had any data concerning a blue droptank, for my own culture.

Again, it looks good

Nice mod and I like it! Drop tank color was supposed to match the color of the underside of USN/USMC aircraft, so aircraft with a white belly would use white drop tanks, aircraft painted in the new, overall glossy sea blue scheme would use glossy sea blue drop tanks. That was the idea and most aircraft used matching tanks, but the reality of war is that you use what is available, so it was not unheard of to see a glossy sea blue F6F-5 or F4U-1D with a white centerline drop tank.

Stansdds is right! The U.S. Navy and Marines wanted the colors of the Droptanks to match....The early version of the F6F had the 2 or 3 color paint scheme along with the lighter colored drop tank, but in the later versions the paint schemes matched including the drop tanks. Here's some other pics that I found from other sites, including another sim..FS2004....Enjoy!
