As Roger said, everything on this plane is a mini-build all its own and the tanks are no exception

My intent is to fly the airplane daily without the tank fins, but for an event I’ll put them on. By doing this I was also able to make the tanks more scale. See pics for details

Heres how I did that:

Here is how the tanks come stock with a straight spine

Here’s the three view of the tanks

And the three view with a straight edge applied. Notice the funny little downturn in the very aft turn at the end

This is the end product

I cut the aft part off where that aft panel line is



I installed .030” poly ply tabs
