Lovely efforts going on here Vincent. At first I was thinking the drop tank release was foot activated by the pilot.  I thought to myself, wow that is so cool.   Then the following pictures show the actual hand lever and torque tube link connection and presto!   It looks like it actually will function.   Just brilliant efforts all the way around here.  Thanks for sharing with us.

Hi and thanks for the kind words - helps to stay motivated

 

The drop tank block was too thick when compared so it had to be redone

And to conclude the floor detailling, Tamiya forgot to represent the belly panel fasteners :

They stay visible once the cockpit is assembled:
