Salt Flats Belly Tanker

[AL.]

I don't know what happening here but I just tried to post the finished model here a couple of minutes ago and suddenly this appeared for a secon time. Sorry guys but it too needs to be deleted.

 

I won't post the completed model until both of these have been delted. Don't want to screw it up again!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is the kit I wanted to build when I built my vac formed Belly Tanker last year.



And this is how it can look when built:









However, both upper and lower tanks halves, in my kit were banana shaped:





But with help and advice from members here and on another site, I was able to make an acceptable 'straightening'.







It's not perfect yet and it may be as good as it gets, but it is at least acceptable.

Before I straightened it, I put it back in it's box and when I closed the lid, I heard a distinct crack. Yup! it had broken across the axle line in the lower half. However, with luck and a fair wind, I think I can make a decent repair. It will need reinforcing though.
