Had a bit of a scare after the final clear coat went on. When it dried, it started to crack above the windows on the right side. I thought the clear had attacked the white base color. Thinking I'd have to repaint that area, I threw caution to the wind, got out some fine sandpaper and went after it. To my relief, the cracking was in the clear coat and sanded off with no damage to the paint.
Lee, the oil tanks on a C-47 are mounted to the roof of the wheel wells with a pair of metal straps, right behind the firewall. If you're standing in front of a main tire, the tank is right above you, dripping oil onto your head. They have a slot in them for the main gear retract actuator to pass through. That actuator isn't included in the kit either. It runs from the center of the cross brace on the main gear strut to a fitting on the roof of the wheel well. There's a link on page two of this thread to an Airfix forum that shows the tanks on their 1/72 model. I'll see if I can find some pics of the real thing...The Mustang tanks I used aren't completely accurate at all, but I did want something to fill that big empty space.
