i'm building the heller version gr1/3, I see on the boxart on the kittyhawk kit that they show centreline tanks, I have to agree with you tho, I have never seen a photo of one with 1 tank either, thanks for the reply, :D

I've seen early photos and film of them with just centreline tanks, but as far as I know for most of their life, standard fit was underwing tanks.

TBH, I have never seen a Jag in the metal with just one tank.

I can't garantee that, but as I said, I've never seen one in peacetime guise carrying just one tank. Obviously in wartime and on live fire exercise, the wing stations would be needed for weapons, to maximise the effectiveness of each aircraft.
Remember, generally, especially in later years, aircraft in peacetime don't carry weapons....
