It was quite common for Korean war fighter bombers to carry napalm. It was and still is, particularly effective against troops and unprotected fortifications. Generally, it was carried in old drop tanks and more often than not, these were old Mustang drop tanks (though they could have been anything).

True Details has provided a set for the Czech Model 1/32 F-80. The set contains a complete pair of tanks with the arming wire attached, a pair of pylons and a small fret that includes anti-sway braces for the pylons and a hand grenade. Yep, apparently the best way to set these off was with a grenade so these are included as well. Molding is excellent and with a bit of clean-up, will be ready to go in no time. A set of assembly instructions is included to show exactly what goes where.

Thanks toSquadron Products for the review set. You can find this and other products at your local retailer.
