Hi All,

I have started working on the Chinese Type 79. Was wondering what would be a good reference for how the fuel lines on the external fuel tanks should be placed.

Not planning on doing a super detailing job or anything, but thought this might be a relatively 'easy' add with not a huge time add.

Thanks.

Since it is basically an updated Chinese copy of the T55, you could always use the way they are on a T-55 and be close "enough".

It would not be too different to the T-54 layout.
You can take a look to the Type 69 walkarounds in Prime Portal, they should be very close to the Type 79 arrangement since they are variants/developments on the same initial design based on the T-54.

Thes references should be good enough if you´re not going for a super detailed model...
Hope this helps
