Fairchild 24 fuel tank question

Post by jwm1801 »

'I am covering the wings on my 1946 F-24R project. Things are moving along nicely. I am a bit stumped on the gas tank installation and hope someone here can help. Once the tanks are in place to the edges of the tank get covered with fabric to keep water from seeping into the wings? Or do you just cover the wings install tanks and tighten straps and call it good? Any help is appreciated. Thank you. JON'

'Hi

You have to cover the gap with fabric strips and
dope it as normal.

on the gas tank installation and hope someone here
can help. Once the tanks are in place to the edges
of the tank get covered with fabric to keep water
from seeping into the wings? Or do you just cover
