At Long Last - Wing Tanks Arrive!

After a considerable wait, the wing tanks have arrived as shown by their crate below.



Of course the first task was to clean and prime them like everything else in this project.  They are 6061-T6 extruded aluminum tubes and as such are pretty corrosion resistant, but I primed anyway.


The finished tanks in their primer skin.


This is what one of the filler caps looks like when one removes the vent.


Sorry for this slight teaser, but I don't really have any additional pictures, but more will be forthcoming in the next post; stay tuned!
