Yep. Almost too easy to set them on fire. Amazingly tough airframe, amazingly vulnerable fuel tanks. They light up just like Bettys (G4M1). I'm assuming that the early versions didn't have self-sealing fuel tanks. Assuming it's not an error in modeling, it was badly misplaced design priorities by Vickers.
