Looking at the sprue shots on the table.......why would you take the lower center portion out of the wing tank?

The only reason I can think of is to have the option of the early MDD tank or the later Sargent Fletcher tank.  The horizontal flanges were in different places on the two tanks.

The Tamiya 1/48 has the same set up. There is quite a bit of detail on the bottom of the tanks (no - I didn’t realise either until it was pointed out!)

Actually this is a normal feature on numerous external tanks. This is often ignored as it is generally not visible.
