Here is a more common placement of the fuel drop tanks and that is under the twin fuslage racks. So I removed the rocket pods and installed the tanks.

Under view




And more side view

The second alternative placement of the fuel drop tanks is under the wing inner station. ( In a ferry configuration the plane had 2 under the wings and 2 under the fuselage ).

Here is a bottom view


And a more common side view.



Which configuration do you like?

Definitely the 2nd one, more room to carry more nasties.

I'm currently in possession of at least 20 good printed kits. Many already have vacuformed canopies, wheels and laser frames. So my preference is to build those before others. I have the files for other cool kits like Yoav and Yaron IAF jets, but will need to print them.

I have 2 more Suchoi derivatives kits , but they are super complicated and I have to figure out how they are constructed. Then I have my favorite and those are the first generation jets.

I will decide this week.

I know exactly what you mean! This is very hard choice what next, but fortunatelly for me is it easy what choose, MiG-29, Su family and for sure Spitfire. The Harrier Gr.Mk.7 would be interesting.
