Hi guys can anyone help with references on the connections to the rear mounted fuel drum (missing on AFVs kit). I've sorced a fuel drum to fit to the brackets on the kits, but can't find reference pictures for how the fuel line was fitted, any ideas?
It's going to be a Kingforce MkIII if that makes a difference

Cheers Guys

Paul

Hi Paul,

Here's a Mk III on Prime Portal, look on page 2.

There is a restoration going on over on Armour in Focus

Hope that helps a bit.
