On top of the new inboard saddle tanks extensions, a series of 10mm x 8mm rectangles of styrene are glued at every 1.5cm (a scale 60cm) up to the inner edge of the hull.
A length of 4mm x 2mm styrene strip is dropped onto the rectangles, loaded with poly cement, and plenty of cyano at the ends.
From the outside, they represent the support bars along the central drainage slot. The supports are a bit uneven thanks to variations in the hull sidewall thickness (euphemism for my crappy build), I'll make a sanding tool to run along the slot and get them evenly matched.
Version built as per kit instructions, that solid mid section and no support beams kills it in my view.
I think this mother might actually become a decent model.
