Center tank.

Quick observation. Look at quite a lot of pictures I realized that the center external tank is a bit too large or wide.

Am I dreaming?

No that’s normal. 600gal tank on the centerline, 370 gal I think on the wings

Comparing with main wheel size and ground separation it appears spot on. We did use actual measurements we were able to get our hands on.
