I'm hoping someone might be able to help me in my efforts to scratch build a mosquito fuel tank for my Lancaster project.

I'm looking firstly for some opinions on what kind of tank this was and secondly for images and information of the tank itself.

To explain:
I'm modelling a Lanc with certain modifications that were made for the later missions against the Tirpitz, one of which was the addition, inside the fuselage, of a "Mosquito long range fuel tank" to extend the Lanc's range.

I'm leaning towards this tank being one of the central pair of tanks in the Mosquito fuselage but if any Mossie experts know differently I'd be interested to hear.
Web searches have so far turned up nothing but images of tanks in-situ and too obscured to be useful.


Help!

I don't know why it didn't occur to me but do any of the large scale Mosquito kits have these tanks as parts? Any and all photos welcome !
