1. Shall I use these tiptanks only, or the underwing ones as well?
Does not look that bad.
I am a tad indecisive as to use the second pair of wing tanks too, apart from the tiptanks...
It is true that the second pair was worn very often, in order to provide that so necessary extra range for the recce missions (among others). It is kind of personal that MAYBE the looks with the 4 tanks are a tad departing from the so characteristic Starfighter stiletto looks...
Also, my very young godson ordered me not to permanently glue it on its base, but "TAC" it, as he wants to commence missions around his house with it and, although he IS careful, the second pair of tanks hanging under the wing might be on the fragile side, let alone the fact that it will be difficult from him to insert his fingers, in order to firmly hold it during his missions.
So, maybe I will leave only the wing pylons sans the extra tanks, only tiptanks?
Decisions, decisions...
