Looking for infos about the RAF 45 Gallon fuel tanks used as napalm bombs in WWII

[Typhoon]

Hi All,

I've seen that Typhoons (and others ?) sometimes carried 45 gallon fuel tanks used as napalm bombs from 1944 to 1945.

I've the resin Napalm bombs from PAVLA in 1/72 scale and I want to build a Typhoon fitted with these special tanks.

I'm looking for infos about these particular fuel tanks used as napalm tanks such as photographs, drawings showing the fuse installation, colour scheme... In a word, everything needed to make a correct replica of a Tiffy equiped with these weapons.

Are these weapons used experimentally or in large scale by the RAF at the period ?

Thanks for the infos,

All the Best,

Typhoon

Hello Typhoon,

Op 1665 mentions the 45 gallon fuel "bomb".
