Default Fuel Drop Pods

Here are the files I used for the fuel drop pods. There are four files: tail, body, tip, and two couplers. The main body, which is a substitute for the original BT-5/ST-5, has a hole in the middle. In order to ensure the hole to be in the middle of the tail fins (at a 90 degree angle) use the coupler that has the "C" profile / the one that has a missing section... the small BT and the tail section both have an alignment tabs that, when used with the coupler, will be aligned properly. Use the other coupler to sit the NC into the BT if needed. The hole also serves two purposes: 1) as an alignment guide to glue the pod to the pylons, and 2) you can insert a toothpick in the hole to hold the pod while painting it.
