Bleriot xI 1909 info required

Hi
I have just bought the Amati Bleriot XI 1909 multimedia kit and am trying to figure out if its accurate or just a generic type. From all the plans I have seen up to now the rectangular petrol tank supplied doeŽnt seem to appear. I would be greatfull if someone could direct me to a set of accurate plans or photos of the cross channel Bleriot.

Thanks
Andrew
