I also see 8 unique fuel tanks where only 4 exist in-game. Were they just cobbled together?

I assume the "additional equipment" weight of 1171 included the motor systems and electronics for the turret and gunsite stabalization system?
Fuel tanks in AH are frequently combined.  As an example, the Mosquito's nine fuel tanks are reduced to five in AH.

I get the feeling you're fishing to determine what the weight was without the FDL system, based on this thread and a couple of others very recently. Unfortunately you won't find that in the "empty weight" listing because it wasn't something removed. Just like the gun mounting hardware on a 110G's rear gun position or the turret on the TBM. The FDL system was part of the empty weight.

k thnx krusty.

Actually I am just trying to determine any possible descrepencies other than the turret misalignment and visual bug that already exists on the model.

I figured I would be able to work out the the weight of the gun turret system eventaully but it looks like I wont at all without specific papers on it.
