I’ve seen several masterful examples of the external fuel cell plumbing on T-55’s replicated here but I have no idea how to begin this project myself.

Is there a diagram available that shows how the plumbing should be installed?

Thanks,
Noah

Hi , go to Tank-Guys web site and click on real vehicles you will find all my scans of a original T 55 handbook cheers ian

Here's the tubing layout

Noah, while the original handbook shows the fuel lines the diagram is not very clear. If you'll PM me your e-mail address, I have some nice pics I can send you that will show everything much clearer.

Ahh, I see Antonio posted up a nice drawing while I was typing . That should take care of it, good stuff Antonio!

You're welcome

I found this one on the PDF instruction from the Aber set for the T55.
I should add that the black line seems to be thinner than the other. This was what I could gather from a multitude of reference photos that I found when I was researching the T55 / Tiran

The above link is from a Finnish modeler that made an amazingly detailed T55. Have a look. There are lots of details that may be useful.

My sincerest thank you to all of you for your responses and the excellent information!
That’s exactly what I was looking for and much more.

Thank you again,
Noah

Few more I took at Duxford. Had a thread on ML I thought, but couldn't find it.
