Backwards is correct. The max sweep is 63 degrees as the tailerons would hit the back end of the tank. The limit is achieved by a detent that can be placed on the wing sweep lever stopping the lever from moving all the way back. Unfortunately, this all that stops the wings from moving and it is possible to put them all the way to 67 degrees, even with the tanks fitted.
