Thanks Thai, I was scratching my head about that one...I was sure they were upside down, but then when I put them the right way up the tanks fittings are obstructed by the from FUS former...another re-engineering that need to be done. I will also make some sort of rigid mounts for the tanks to hold the weight of them so as to take it off the fuselage.
