I am scratch building new fenders from brass sheet, but when looking at walk around references, there is a fuel strap in that spot, as in these photos:
Sorry, not asking about a fuel line. The brace that is present on the Trumpeter Kit, is not present on the walk arounds of B1 variants that I can find, but it is present on the B3 variant. Just looking for clarity before I remove it on the trumpeter kit, that is not supposed to be on B1.
