Can you tell me what these parts are called please?

I'm about to mount a pair of long-range tanks on the wings of a Hurricane IIc model, and I'm looking for information about the exact position of the wing hardpoints that would be used. From some photographs, it looks as if the hardpoint was mounted on the first rib outboard of the inner cannon...

Hi people! Quick question... on my wish list as a future build is a ME 262B-1a/U1 as a night fighter and have wondered what the upper wing camo looked like? Most commonly, I've seen the upper wings match the upper fuselage mottle but I've also seen a few profiles showing a splinter pattern on...
