Sir Crumpp, since you still haven't provided me with any directsource at all(kinda like that "gaming site" huh?), your arguments are no better than mine. Please drop the patronizing comments and grow a pair. I don't give a crap if you guys build FW190's because they don't relate to the problems they had with the early droptanks. Neither does the 109 E7 because they also used the metal variants, except drag issues ofcourse.
It seems to me your only beef here is about a claim that the early plywood tanks were suspected to self ignite. I don't know if that happened or not but a suspicion is just that, not necessarily documented facts. I don't know who "said it" first either. The Henschel 123's tanks were fitted with an igniter though, so that the tanks would self destruct after they were dropped. Maybe that was the source?
Strawman my @$$. Since you're so eager to show that you're restoring old fighters, I figure you should have more contacts than me on that subject. Use them, then come back here and prove me wrong. As I've said before, I'd be more than happy to correct myself on that claim because, just as you, I'm interested in facts not fiction. For now, my posts still stand.
Thanks for linking me to the Smithsonian though, I'm working on my requests as we speak lol.
