Yep, I’ve seen this on a T7.

It had arrived at the warm, maritime very humid tropical destination “tankering” a lot of extra fuel...I can’t remember the exact numbers but there was a significant amount left in the wings. By the time we arrived at the aircraft to take it home there was a lovely layer of ice on the top of the wing (inboard section)...which took quite some time to clear.

The company reviewed it’s tankering policy to that destination after that.
