    as mentioned, this is a Weekend Edition kit, so no PE parts
    built the recently finished Eduard ProfiPack F6F-3 without a tank, so gonna use the PE tank straps from that kit here

    the PE parts didnĀ“t turn out, were very soft and bended in all directions, also the pre-drilled holes for the straps in the fuselage were positioned a bit wrong
    in the end used plastic stripes for the straps
