As of now I'm looking at having probably 12 or more feet of fuel line per turbine when you consider going from fill port in the nose to UAT near nose gear, then back up front to a shut off valve in the nose before going back to the pump and then turbines.

I have not yet started on the cockpit - once assembled can it be easily removed to access fuel shutoff valves and such if I were to install them around the nose gear mount instead of at the nose cone?
Here are some pictures I have of the building process and how I have what you are asking on my SU27.
I have the fuel shut off valves and fuel line under the speed brake unfortunatelly I don't have pictures of that at the moment, switches pwr box screen and air lines in the nose, the cabin is not easy to open all the time, unless you make some modification.. I have a 1/6 pilot made fromm Taylored Pilots
