Those 2 circles are strange, it certainly looks as though parts are meant to go there. Maybe the designers forgot to add ?

Did you make any build thread?
I didn't make thread yet.
I was afraid because I already taken eight hundreds of pictures...

Igor, it might be worthwhile to check the "opis budowy" (building instructions). If you look for the part number in the Polish text you can try to translate the particular section with the help of Google Translate or similar. Maybe you find a clue in there.

It is my own experience that sometimes the building instructions reveal useful information - in my case when I built the Halinski Spitfire recently, I found out about the navigation lights on the wings and rudder. These were indicated on the instruction drawings but no parts for them included in the kit. In the instructions it was explained how to make them.

Perhaps by checking the building instructions you find something about the white spots.

Cheers,
Erik

Thanks to all for helping and feedback.

Eric, i build by translated instructions and follow them with caution. There was no mention about partsfor those circles. Also there are no drawings of that particular place and it seems like just a white place mistake, because no one will sea anything from outside. You can see that to near holes for main tank fuel filling ports are grey, so probably those must be too. I painted them and left like it.

And detailing continue:
Three armored cups for fuel filling ports - two of main fuel tanks and one of auxiliary generator fuel tank.
Two tow cable holders.
One rear rooftop ventilator cover.





I really like designer's solution for sphere assembling. And still learning how to glue this difficult parts





Glued on armor

Added splash guards and armor plates, that protect fuel caps and tool box on the rear







Started with tools - idler adjusting wrench and sledge hammer, with brackets







Hammer handle was made from solder wire of 1mm and tip was smashed to imitate squared ending. This was easy, because solder wire is soft.



Put tools with brackets in place
