The tank was now primed with black paint and then painted with Mr. Metalcolor "brass".
There is a possibility that the brass sheet was originally painted with light gray paint, but I personally like the idea better that he was unpainted.
Because of weight or whatever the reasons could have been.

The connection point from the filler neck to the tank was indicated in silver color to show the soldering.

The oil tank attached in front of the gasoline tank got a shut-off valve and the oil line on the bottom.
The end of the oil line is flanged to the oil pump on the front firewall.

Traces of oil was represented with Tamiya "Smoke".

The oil line was attached to the nozzle with two hose clamps. This is thin wire which was used here to represent the clamps.
Note the hole in the drain nozzle of the gasoline tank, where the actuator for the gasoline tap will be mounted later.

The next step will be to fill the space below the fuel tank.
Again, there are no parts for this in the box.
This means that scratch building must be done here.
I'm telling you, it's going to be tight, in front of the pilot's legs

Now, for the representation of the carburetor, I used a spare part from a Copper State Nieuport XVII kit.
Of course, the spare part carburetor could not be mounted on the Morane without massive rework.
But more about that next week.
So you can imagine what is coming - see picture.

I wish you all a great week.
.... see you soon

Many thanks to all of you for your kind comments.
Thank you also for visiting the build report of the little Morane.
Zac, I hope there are no problems that I'm posting new pictures so soon?

Intake manifold, carburetor, air intake pipes, fuel and oil lines, ignition distributor etc., await you in the next pictures.
As already written, if the model is built oob, then almost everything in the cockpit remains empty.
Ok, let's start.

Directly behind the carburetor housing is a flange with holes.
At these holes, the complete intake housing is clamped to the cockpit frame via pipes/brackets and/or steel cables.
I created the flange from waste plastic.

the next components to be created were the air intake pipes.
I used aluminum tubes which I filed thinner in diameter over the entire length.
At the point where the air intake pipes come out of the fuselage, a reinforcing plate was mounted from thin Evergreen cards.
