CMK's
Fuel Set includes a one-piece fuel tank complete with forward and rear
bulkheads, glycol tanks, fuel caps, strap detail and wiring all moulded on. This
is a great piece of casting! A shallow casting block on the bottom of this part
can probably be left in place. It should not foul with the kit parts.
The remaining parts are an ultra-thin cover with internal structural detail,
and a fuel access flap.
The instructions suggest thinning the kit's fuselage sidewalls before
installing the fuel tank. I'd further recommend lots of dry-fitting to ensure
the best possible fit for the cover on the kit fuselage.
One of the few criticisms of Tamiya's 1/48 scale Dornier Do 335 is the
relentlessly dull splinter camouflage finish. This set will help break up all
that green with a splash of black and grey! CMK's Fuel Set is certainly a simple
way to make people look twice at your Arrow, and at less than USD$8.50 it won't
break the bank either.
