I've seen somewhere an Egyptian JS-3M (tri-color camo scheme) with some fuel lines on the side fuel tanks. Any reference about these fuel lines? Were those lines fitted on all JS-3Ms? Thanks a lot in advance. Best regards.

Those lines are for filling the engine compressed air starting bottles, not for fuel. I think these were a standard equipment of all tanks. The fuel connections are between both tanks in each side, connecting with the hull top.

Here is a pic of this area in my model:

Cool, That's what I'm talking about. Is there any book with reference about it? I already saved those pics, but I think I need a little more. I don't know the kit, in fact, I'm gathering info for a friend who has the kit, so I want to know exactly waht to do because I'm planning to build that kit as well. Best regards.
