xysti53 Posted February 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 (edited) Just a reminder that anybody wanting to put fighters in they can use divided tanks or even small tanks. And can have more than 2 entries in the 2ft space. Jodie even has her own tiered stand that takes up to about 8 small tanks and fits neatly into a two foot space.
