   Good news , Hagoth !
   Thanks again ;D

   I have the BiC tanks installed
I just need to complete the other end of the strap   ...
   the other connector should appear functional    ( oh no )

   [ATTACH=full]77493[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]77494[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]77495[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]77496[/ATTACH]

Some shading should give depth to the strap connector    : hopefully

The short tank just needs to be placed and connected to the manifold with 1mm braided hose .
   I'm starting on the forward tank ..    I'm going to put a gauge at the valve head on this one .
The hard part will be painting the gauge face

..   . that handwheel at left is to replace the one that disappeared from the manifold ??? : ,   where it went ? Holiday , I suppose ... 8)

   So I found a replacement from a U-boat kit that I actually liked better .
   I saw it this morning , primer'd and ready for duty , when I was working on the BiC tank handwheels .

It vanished also    ----- quite strange .
I replaced my carpet monster with laminate flooring so it's very easy to find small parts now   ...    plus , I keep everything on the bench in small containers

-- So if this one disappears , The Model Gods definitely don't want no hand-wheel there !!

   ( I guess you operate the valve with a wrench   :-\ ) ( Come on Model Gods - be cool ! )

I need to install the Ossicone Antennae :

   ( any MaK fans recognize the parts ?   .    of course )

It'll have a grounding strap running from each upright to fuselage connections .

All the grounding lines run to this ring at the forward bulkhead :

Cheers !    and Happy Eating !
