Well it is the first one (second one is a little "TOO BIG" for the nose).. BUT it needs to be out of vinyl. Im not re-clear coating the plane.

Though I show a few more photos of the service panel install:
Under the panel I have the air tanks, smoke pump, and steering servo. Had plenty of room for a nice & neat layout, sprayed the panel white and labeled. Also made a mod to the nose gear doors, since skymaster design wass off I made the bottom half of the door on hinges and cylinder. Used a UP2 valve to keep the bottom door shut all the time. Left the top half of the nose gear door to stay on the linkage to pull it shut.
Top panel is screw down, if (or when) I need to remove it I can take it out.

Built a tank tray and replaced the middle bulkhead to have room for 2 x 20 oz smoke tanks, main tank dubro 100oz is centered on the cg . The tray is end grain balsa sheeted with 64 ply very rigid and lite and will have pins at the rear so it will be removable to access the smoke pumps.

Great Decal you made for me!!!! I should have got one without the grpahics and paid you for the decals!!!!! That main tank from xtreme is 90oz, I am using that to feed my header trap. Im using 2 12oz sullivans (DF style tanks to be on each side of 90oz tank) + 6oz header for smoke. Plus all 3 tanks are centered on CG. Have to mount the tail pipe before I can install the fuel tanks.

BTW... I would try to get the smoke tanks on CG.. The way yours is installed, you are gonna be nose heavy and be up trimming till you empty them.

Did you guys find 3 hinges per flap good enough or did you add more?
