It would probably form on the lower wing surfaces under the tanks if you stay airborne long enough/ cold enough to cold-soak.Look at the underside of any airliner after landing (if the ground temp. is below freezing) and you will see large areas of frost. Not usually a problem on the lower surface in flt., but if a/c is fuelled and left out it will form on the top, so it must be removed..
